People
Staff
Earthworks has grown enormously in recent years and now has a staff of 11. Because of this rapid growth, vacancies for staff members arise from time to time and we also offer placements to a number of students each year.
Working for Earthworks is immensely rewarding and usually exhausting. As an organisation, Earthworks St. Albans is extremely fortunate in the quality and commitment of its staff, who put the welfare of the trainees at the top of their list of priorities.
Supporting Earthworks
Earthworks is blessed with a huge network of supporters, from volunteers who work on site in all weathers to Management Committee members (above on a 'team-building exercise'!) to visitors to our Open Days and to our stall at the Farmers' Market. To all of you a huge thank you. It may be a cliché - but we couldn't manage without you.
You can read an interview with Paul, who used to volunteer at Earthworks before he began working at St. Albans Abbey and a profile of Hilary, another Earthworks volunteer.
The 'Friends of Earthworks' support our organisation financially (and often in other ways) and receive a quarterly newsletter. Please contact us if you would like to become a friend. If you are an active supporter of Earthworks and would like to become a Member, again please contact contact us.
There is a factsheet available that tells you about becoming a volunteer - you can download and view an adobe acrobat file of it here.
