When?
We’re looking for someone who can volunteer 2–3 times per week, ideally on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Each session will be arranged in advance to fit around your availability.

Milestones Trust supports adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs to live their best lives.
Here’s a slightly shorter, smoother version that keeps the warmth and key details:
Do you love gardening and helping others?
Join our Friday morning gardening group as a Co-Lead and be part of something truly special.
During the growing season, students from a specialist SEND school visit our vibrant Victorian-style kitchen garden each week to plant, water, and harvest fresh fruit and vegetables. Bringing your gardening knowledge and practical skills, you’ll work alongside a staff member who specialises in supporting SEND pupils. Together, you’ll lead a friendly team of around eight volunteers who support the group each Friday.
Experience working with teens with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) is wonderful but not essential. You’ll be supported by skilled carers and HLC staff, and you’ll gain valuable experience along the way.
What to expect
Sessions run on Friday mornings during term time (April–July and September–October). You’ll help prepare activities, brief volunteers, welcome students, and pair them with one-to-one support for the session.
You may work directly with a participant or oversee the wider group — and, of course, hand out the all-important biscuits at break time! At the end of each session, you’ll lead the tidy-up, support a short debrief with students and volunteers, and share key updates and photos with the volunteer team to keep everyone informed and motivated.
You’ll play an important role in helping participants work towards meaningful goals, such as following instructions, managing transitions, and developing fine motor skills.
What we’re looking for
You’re patient, kind, and empathetic, especially when working with people with learning needs and disabilities. You’re reliable, flexible, and eager to learn.
Consistency is key, so we’re looking for someone who can commit to weekly Friday mornings during both the Autumn and Spring programmes. Your steady, friendly presence will help create stability and comfort for participants who may find change challenging.
Join us — and let’s grow something wonderful together, in the garden and beyond.
Time commitment
-
Fridays, 9:30am–12:00pm
-
Autumn: 4–6 weeks (September–October)
-
Spring: 10–12 weeks (April/May–July)
An additional morning for garden maintenance and session preparation may be helpful in future, but this isn’t essential at the outset.
Skills and experience
-
Gardening knowledge and practical skills (required)
-
Experience with teens with PMLD (desirable, not essential)
