We believe in the benefits of colourful and inviting outdoor areas for the mental health of the children, young people, and staff who use those spaces, and in the sensory stimulation and understanding gained from growing herbs and edible produce. We need someone with gardening know-how and expertise to help us make that a reality!

The skills you need
- gardening knowledge and skills
- ability to perform the physical aspects of the role
- confidence to be around children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health support needs
- a friendly attitude
- patience
- willingness to work within guidelines and to take direction where necessary.
What's in it for you
- having time in the fresh air and reap the mental health benefits that brings
- being part of a friendly and dedicated team
- learning more about the abilities of the children and young people we support
- feeling proud about making a difference to young people’s lives
