Volunteering for the Green Party

Support from volunteers is key to Green Party activity.

Voluntary help is needed at all levels of the party and in all regions. An important principal of the Green Party is that everyone has a role to play and can make a difference.

The national office has opportunities for admin, press, communications, research and political volunteers. Current opportunities are detailed below.

If you would like to know more about volunteering in your region or local party please contact your regional Green Party for details. To find out who your regional coordinator is please telephone Party Office, Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm on 020 7272 4474.

National Office Support Volunteers

People volunteer for all types of reasons. You may want to update your skills, be active, or improve your job prospects. There is no typical volunteer but it helps if you have a passion for Green politics, share our core values and can work effectively as part of a team.

Volunteers at Green Party National Office carry out a variety of administrative support work - from helping with mail outs, answering telephone calls, email enquiries, data entry, data analysis, research projects, assisting our Fundraiser and Finance Officer and much more.

"As a volunteer, you can make new friends and meet like minded people. You will develop new skills and gain valuable work experience." - Sophie, London

"It's interesting to see the internal clock-work of a political/campaigning organisation and to have satisfaction that I'm part of that machine furthering the Green cause." - David, Kent

Wherever possible we aim to identify specific roles for people according to their skills, experience, interest and availability. The more information you provide on the application form, the greater the likelihood of us being able to find an appropriate way to use your skills. We are very fortunate to receive a high level of interest for volunteering in our office, but with only limited opportunities available, this unfortunately means it is not always possible to place everyone that applies.

The office is based in Archway and the office hours are between 10am-6pm Monday to Friday. We will cover reasonable travel expenses within London and a lunch allowance will be payable (on production of receipts).

To apply, click and download the attached forms and return to financeofficer@greenparty.org.uk or Kate Barnett 1a Waterlow Road, LONDON N19 5NJ.
