We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Gardener to join our dedicated team and contribute to Elizabeth Fry Charity as it continues to increase and develop the support it provides to women in the criminal justice system.

Elizabeth Fry Charity runs a 24 bed Approved Premises for women who are under supervision of the Probation Service.

We are now seeking an experienced and skilled Gardener who could work alongside a small group of residents to maintain our outdoor space and share the benefits of working outdoors.

The role is for five hours a week, times, and days to be agreed. The role is based on a 12-month contract with potential for extension if further funding is secured.

We know that there are clear benefits to gardening which include better physical health, improved mental health through sense of purpose and achievement and a reduction in stress. We are looking for an individual who has both the practical and people skills needed to lead and work alongside residents in the Charity’s garden. Our aim for this activity is to support improvements in residents physical and mental health, whilst also enabling them to acquire new skills and potentially grow their own food.
