What is the role of a JPR Coordinator?

A Coordinator’s role is very flexible and doesn’t take up much time. We look for a commitment of approximately 2-3 hours a month, and sessions can be run at lunch or after school.

As a Coordinator you will: 

  • Host JPR student meetings (whenever suits you, but at least once a month).
  • Provide your students with the resources sent to you via the monthly newsletter from The Parks Trust.
  • Assist in giving your JPRs a platform to communicate their work (i.e. arranging assemblies for them to read the bulletin and finding a notice board space).
  • Help your JPRs maintain their notice board.
  • Communicate information relevant to parents such as the free workshops (please note: these workshops are run on occasional Saturdays in the parks. Coordinators are not required to attend. Parents/carers are only required to drop off and collect JPRs).

Assistance from The Parks Trust includes:

  • A welcome pack with all the information you'll need to get started and support your JPR team throughout the year.
  • Free resources including downloadable activities and content for your noticeboard and assemblies.
  • Regular communication about upcoming events and how JPRs can sign up for these.
  • A continuous point of contact within The Parks Trust.
  • Support on applying for the Outstanding Rangers Award with the potential to win £200 worth of resources for your school!
