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 be expected to:
- Host meetings for your JPR students (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 the JPRs)
What assistance does The Parks Trust provide?
- A welcome pack with all the information you'll need to get started and support your 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
