We’re looking for an experienced gardener to lead our charity allotment, growing fresh fruit and vegetables to support our food bank and bringing volunteers together through hands-on food growing.
This is more than gardening — it’s about tackling food insecurity, building skills, and creating a thriving community space.
📅 12-month commission (initially) – with potential to extend
⏰ 16 hours per week
💷 £12,000 for the year
💼 Self-employed / commissioned basis
You’ll:
🌿 Plan and manage seasonal growing
🌿 Develop and improve the allotment space
🌿 Support and encourage volunteers
🌿 Help us maximise produce for the food bank
You’ll need:
✔ Proven experience in food growing / allotment management
✔ Confidence working alongside volunteers
✔ Appropriate insurance (incl. Public Liability)
✔ To operate on a self-employed basis (responsible for your own tax & NI)
This is a commissioned opportunity, not an employed role.
If you’re passionate about growing food and making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
