Project Officer – Trees for Goals

Fixed term until March 2028 28 hours per week
Based across Forth Valley and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park area

FEL Scotland is looking for a Project Officer to support delivery of our Trees for Goals project. This exciting project uses grassroots sport as a gateway into climate action, linking goals scored on the pitch with trees planted in local communities. Working with sports clubs, partners and residents across Forth Valley, the project aims to increase climate awareness, encourage community climate pledges and support tree planting in areas with low tree canopy cover.

You will work closely with FEL colleagues and partner organisations including The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) and Forth Climate Forest to engage clubs and communities, coordinate activities and help deliver local impact.

We are looking for someone with strong people skills who enjoys community engagement and partnership working. Experience in community projects, climate action, sport, volunteering or environmental work would be valuable, but we welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds.

The role is primarily office based in Stirling, with regular travel across Forth Valley and occasional evening or weekend work for community activities. Limited home working may be available by agreement.

We offer a supportive and flexible working environment, generous annual leave, pension contribution, training opportunities and family-friendly policies.

Closing date: Midnight, 31st May 2026
