Administration Officer – closing date 21 October 2025

Thrive’s vision is that gardening is actively encouraged as part of personal health and wellbeing management and Social & Therapeutic Horticulture (STH) services are available wherever people live.

We are looking for an Administrator to work 28 hours a week to help ensure that our offices run smoothly and safely. This is a varied role, you will need to be highly organised, able to work on your own initiative and have the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues and external suppliers. If you are a skilled administrator with good problem-solving skills this might be the perfect opportunity for you.

Our Values
  • Excellence – We provide high quality services for everyone we support and collaborate with.
  • People Focused – Client gardeners, students, staff and volunteers are at the centre of what we do as an organisation.
  • Ambitious – We believe in the power of Social & Therapeutic Horticulture and in ourselves as an organisation to grow the sector and widen our impact.
  • Collaborative – We understand the value of working with others, knowing we will achieve greater things together than we can on our own.
