Gardening Sessions Volunteer
Actively Interviewing

We are looking for a gardening volunteer to develop and run sessions at our service. Our service users are really keen to make use of our fantastic garden space. We are looking for people who have a good knowledge of gardening, in particular using the correct tools, growing and looking after plants, and would like to pass on that knowledge.
The gardening sessions will run weekly and we can be flexible on days and times. If you love gardening and have experience of allotments, or planting and growing vegetables in your back garden then this is the volunteering opportunity for you!
We support our volunteers with an Induction, training for the role, a named volunteer supervisor, a monthly newsletter and a monthly online peer support group.
Duties:
· Coming up with ideas for gardening sessions
· Running gardening sessions and including the group in decision making.
· Sharing knowledge of how to grow plants and look after the garden space
· Clearing away at the end of the session
· Helping to promote the sessions to service users
· Make sure good health and safety is followed.
· Report any concerns to staff members.
As a volunteer with Creative Support we offer training for your role, access to a volunteer supervisor, an induction, a monthly volunteer newsletter, and an online volunteer support network group on Zoom.
We are a passionate, inclusive and anti-racist organisation. We embrace diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds and cultures. As a Disability Confident Employer we welcome applications from people with a disability, and as a proud Stonewall Diversity Champion we actively encourage applications from the LGBT+ community.
