Role Detail

Grounds Maintenance Volunteer - Maidstone

Kent and Medway NHS & Social Care Partnership Trust

Someone with grounds maintenance and pond care experience required.

Detailed Description

Our Detox Unit in Maidstone have a large 'green space' that is greatly enjoyed by residents. There are lawn areas, flower borders, a pond, and some wooden features. What they are looking for is someone who can come along and help upkeep these areas. In particular, they need someone who can help look after the pond - so some experience is essential in this area (there are fish in the pond). But other activities will include mowing, painting, gardening and a wide variety of grounds maintenance activities. You would be welcome to bring your own skills and flair to the space as well. This will be self-directed work so you will need to know what you are doing and have relevant experience. There is the possibility of working alongside residents of the unit if you would be comfortable with this, though it's not essential. The Detox Unit is resident to service users with drug and alcohol addictions who are in recovery so you will need to be comfortable and happy in that environment.
