VOLUNTEER BROWNFIELD MAPPER
đź“Ť Location: Flexible, Gloucestershire (remote/desk-based)
⏰ Commitment: Flexible volunteer role
⚠️ Please note: This is a voluntary, unpaid role
🌳 Help Protect Gloucestershire’s Countryside!
CPRE Gloucestershire is looking for volunteer Brownfield Site Mappers to support our LandWise: Gloucestershire’s Brownfield Land Survey Project.
We believe that previously developed (brownfield) land should be prioritised for development before valuable countryside, Green Belt, parks and other green spaces are lost. By helping us identify overlooked brownfield sites, you can play a direct role in protecting Gloucestershire’s landscapes and supporting sustainable development.
About the Role
As a Volunteer Brownfield Mapper, you will help identify brownfield sites in your local area that may have been missed from local authority brownfield registers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Using our step-by-step Brownfield Site Toolkit, you will carry out desk-based research, review maps and local information, and submit details of potential sites to CPRE Gloucestershire. Your local knowledge and research will help ensure suitable brownfield land is recognised and considered for future development opportunities.
