With a particular focus on the role that gardening plays to benefit wellbeing and the environment, we deliver a range of projects and initiatives and celebrate the amazing activity that supports communities to grow.

You will also have a key role in the future development of our online presence for RHS Communities, to help us expand our reach and deepen our understanding of our audiences and grow our positive impact.

The successful candidate will have strong leadership qualities, exceptional project management skills and the ability to forge partnerships and relationships with key stakeholders, as well as a passion for education, communities and the natural world.
