Activities will depend on your interests – it could be ‘traditional’ gardening (planting fruit and veg, flowers, etc) or it could be working with staff and patients. The full range of activities can be expected, depending on the time of year – weeding, planting, improving wildlife habitats, cultivating, area development activities. Whatever it is you do, you can be sure that your help will bring joy and lasting memories to our patients who use our green spaces as somewhere to relax, as a space for therapeutic activities, and to enjoy peaceful time in nature. We are a mental health NHS Trust and so you will need to be able to engage with a wide range of people and patients, positive, empathic and non-judgemental attitude, and have great listening skills as well as good command of verbal and written English. Ideally you will have some gardening knowledge or passion for gardening, and are able to work independently and at your own initiative. You must be at least 18 years of age. In return we offer training, support, and travel expenses as well as resources for the jobs to be carried out.

A knowledge and interest of gardening would be an advantage. Needn't be to a high level but you may be volunteering unsupervised so will need to know how to complete simple gardening tasks.
Help maintain a green space that is valued by staff and patients.
