Corporate Partnerships Coordinator

ABOUT TREES FOR CITIES

Trees for Cities is an ambitious, far-reaching organisation. Trees for Cities is the only
charity working on a national and international scale to improve people’s lives by planting
trees in cities. In a world facing unprecedented threats from climate change, loss of
biodiversity and disconnection from nature, our work has never been more urgent or important.
You will build relationships with companies to manage funding up to £10,000 per year and
coordinate employees to volunteer and directly support our work to grow urban forests and
combat the effects of climate change. We are a rapidly growing and developing organisation that
suits ambitious, dedicated and passionate staff.
