Why Green Light Trust?

Founded in 1989 as a conservation charity, Green Light Trust is now a leading provider in East Anglia of education and wellbeing programmes for the most disadvantaged in society; mostly those in the lowest 5% in terms of their wellbeing and integration.

We have grown 200% over the past 2 years and we have a real sense of purpose and truly believe in our aim to help create a society where everyone has equitable access to the power of nature.

We support adults, children and young people, using the environment to rebuild, reawaken and refocus their lives. We sit at the crossroads between health, education and the environment, transforming the lives of people with some of the most complex needs and challenges, who have been unable to get the help they need from anywhere else. At the same time, our work is also improving the wild and green spaces we work in, by bringing woodlands back into management, increasing biodiversity and creating new habitats.

What’s in it for you:

Technology – Cloud based everything with a laptop and all the bits you need to work where suits you best – including remote IT support.
Proper holiday - 25 days annual leave + bank holidays as well as that time between Christmas and New Year you always forget to book.
Flexible working as standard from day one – Work from home or at our carbon neutral HQ (sit next to the wood burner) or a combination of what brings out the best in you.
Rewards and support - Enhanced employee rewards package, no questions access to counselling support. Time out in the woods to be at one with nature. Supported time off when you need it most.
Genuine development - Regular performance reviews, support, and progression opportunities.
Training and coaching – Where do you want to be? What do you need to get there? Answer those questions and we’ll find a way to make it happen with training and amazing coaching with Alitus!
