Gardening and Growing Volunteer

Summary

The gardening and growing volunteer will support our accommodation sites in maintaining their outdoor spaces.

Detailed Description

Having access to a secure garden or outdoor area can be crucial for providing opportunities to socialise and relax, which can be invaluable for the mental well-being of our residents.

The gardening and growing volunteer will support our accommodation sites in maintaining their outdoor spaces, including:

• Clearing leaves and large twigs
• Planting bulbs and tidying up flower beds

We would love for this to be an opportunity to involve our residents and potentially lead a gardening activity with them, equipping them with knowledge and skills to maintain their own green spaces in the future.

You will need:

• Enjoy working outside in all weathers.
• An interest/basic knowledge of gardening.
• Some degree of physical work and lifting/manual handling.
• To work under your own initiative.
• Opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills.

A full induction to the service and specific site will be provided, as well as access to training and events throughout the year!

Please note: You will be required to undergo a DBS check.

Some sites have basic tools; however, any additional tools and materials required can be discussed with your volunteer manager.
