Belfast, United Kingdom HORATIO'S GARDEN Full time

**Garden Administrator, Horatio’s Garden Northern Ireland**

We are seeking a friendly, organised, part time administrator, to provide support to the Head Gardener at Horatio’s Garden Northern Ireland, at the Spinal Cord Injuries Centre, Musgrave Park Hospital, Belfast. This new high-profile garden will open in December 2023 and was designed by Andy Sturgeon.

The garden is the seventh project for the charity Horatio’s Garden. Horatio’s Garden is a nationwide charity creating and nurturing beautifully designed gardens in NHS spinal injury centres.

The beautiful garden will include a boccia court, water feature, garden pods and a large garden room to give patients a warm sheltered place to enjoy the garden in all weather.

There will be a large glasshouse, and an area of raised beds for patients for garden therapy sessions and a warm Head Gardeners office, looking out over the garden.

The garden administrator will join a team of six other dedicated administrators across the charity’s existing projects. You will work closely with the full-time head gardener and a team of volunteers to nurture the beautiful space for patients and their visitors.

You will be responsible for the administration of the garden and co-ordination of the large group of volunteers. With the head gardener you will also arrange social events for patients and their families in collaboration with the rehabilitation centre’s team.

The role is a fantastic opportunity for a confident administrator who is efficient and organised, with great IT skills and a love of spreadsheets. You will need to be adaptable and friendly and happy working with volunteers and patients. An interest in gardens would be an advantage but is not essential. We welcome informal enquiries.

It is a part-time salaried post for 15 hours a week over three days, with flexibility for overtime to cover when the Head Gardener is on leave or absent from the garden.

**Working closely with the head gardener you will be involved in**:

- Volunteer co-ordination, training and recruitment
- Support the Head Gardener with administrative duties
- Events support
- Garden tour organisation
- Purchasing necessary supplies for the garden
- Banking donations
- Posters and marketing around the garden
- Managing merchandise

**Essential skills**:

- Outstanding attention to detail, lots of initiative and drive
- Excellent IT competence, agility and experience with using Microsoft 365 programmes
- Administrative experience, at least 2 years
- Great communication skills
- Adaptable, friendly and a good sense of humour

**Desirable**:

- Volunteer co-ordination
- Events organising
- Love of gardens
- Bookkeeping

The post is available from beginning of January. The role is flexible hours averaging 15 hours a week over three days and with a part-time **salary of £9,690 per annum (full time equivalent of £24,224 per annum).**
