Harrogate, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom North Yorkshire Youth Justice Full time

Are you an experienced gardener who has grown fruits and vegetables and managed a garden or allotment space? Who would like to pass on your skills and knowledge to the benefit of the local community? Can you see potential in a plot of land? Could you provide regular support and guidance of what to plant, when and how? Do you believe young people could benefit from gardening and would like to help pass on these skills to them either directly or indirectly? If yes then this opportunity could be for you.


The Role:


We've recently taken on a large garden area complete with a greenhouse and raised beds which has been left fallow since Covid.

We're looking for a volunteer to join us to assess the garden and plan what to grow and to provide regular advice and guidance to train up our team to establish a garden which benefits the local community.

Most of the teenagers we work with are asked to do a practical reparation project to repay the harm they have caused to their victim or their local community.

This garden will be one of a selection of projects we have available for our young people.

We're hoping to grow fruits and vegetables which can be donated to local foodbanks/community cafes and seedlings which can be shared with local schools and other local community groups.

We have an excellent staff team who are experts in engaging hard to reach teenagers but who lack the gardening expertise to make the most of the garden space we have available.

We're looking for someone who is an experienced gardener who would be able to train and advise our team. Someone who wants to get involved in the actual gardening is desirable but not essential.

This role would not necessarily involve direct work with our young people but this would be an option for development if it was of interest to the volunteer.
