Are you passionate about gardening and eager to share your expertise? We are excited to be recruiting for a Horticultural Lead (30 hours per week) to oversee our Northern Allotments project, funded by the PHA. In this role, you will support local groups and volunteers in creating and maintaining community allotments and gardens. You will provide hands-on expertise through volunteer gardening sessions and events, enabling participants to learn new horticultural skills and develop their own community growing spaces. Additionally, you will facilitate corporate employee volunteering days in community gardens, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.

Community gardens and allotments offer a valuable space for individuals of all ages and abilities to enhance their health and well-being. By engaging in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, participants can develop new skills, enjoy fresh produce, and foster social connections within their community. These activities not only promote physical health but also contribute to mental well-being and a sense of belonging.

 

The Horticulture Lead will have excellent organisational skills, good communication skills and the ability to work independently in a professional manner. They will be able to think creatively and come up with innovative solutions, be self-motivated, with a strong personal commitment to the values of Groundwork NI.
