Your main tasks will include:

  1. During Spring and Summer months weeding key areas in the grounds.

  3. Assisting in seasonal gardening tasks throughout the year, providing extra resource to the work of the existing staff grounds team. This may include planting, sowing, tidying, weeding, dead-heading, pruning, sweeping, mulching, feeding, watering and clearing away trimmings.
  4. Monitoring bird and bat boxes and insect hotels.
  5. Helping to evaluate the project’s effectiveness by monitoring and recording the development of newly planted areas for their ease of maintenance and impact on nature conservation. Monitoring paperwork and cameras will be provided and volunteers will be trained on how to evaluate progress.

What impact will this have?

  1. Increasing bio-diversity at Willesden Jewish Cemetery.
  2. Making Willesden Jewish Cemetery a greener and more beautiful place to visit.
  3. Helping to conserve a special place of historic interest for the future.

CharityUnited Synagogue (House of Life)

Between 2015 and 2021 grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund enabled the United Synagogue to create a new visitor experience at Willesden Cemetery and to start a major transformation to conserve its rich heritage for future generations. The “House of Life” heritage project has created a new Heritage Centre and garden areas, conserved listed buildings and significant memorials, and has introduced exhibits and events for new audiences.
