    Job description:
Crops are not the only thing you will cultivate in this life-changing role.

Leading a group of prisoners to maintain, harvest and cultivate the prison's gardens, you will develop their skills and confidence, and assess accredited vocational qualifications.


We will rely on you and your team to ensure protected cropping is grown and harvested to the highest standards.

This is a role with broad accountability, maintaining everything from field-scale soil husbandry, to plant and crop development, to biological pest control and any necessary chemical crop protection programs.

Taking careful account of labelling, grading and presentation, you will see that produce grown on-site is prepared and packaged appropriately.

Along the way, you could play a part in supporting entry to our annual best kept prison garden competition, judged by the Royal Horticultural Society.

You will certainty discover potential for rewarding development of your career.

Ideally, you will bring to the role a relevant vocational qualification or equivalent suitable experience.

We expect you to be familiar with soil and growing medium husbandry, crop protection, crop production and plant protection technology, and the preparation of fresh produce for sale.

You will certainly bring a caring and resilient approach to your work.

While supervisory experience will definitely be an advantage, what matters most is that you demonstrate strong communication, persuading and influencing skills.

We expect you to be committed to achieving quality within a safe and secure environment. Please note you may be required to work some evenings and weekends.
