Hampshire, United Kingdom Ewhurst Park Ltd Full time

**Job Details**:
An exciting new position has arisen for an Assistant to support the Growing and Kitchen Gardening Team at Ewhurst Park near Basingstoke in Hampshire.

Ewhurst Park is a 925-acre rural estate which has embarked on an estate-wide biodiversity and sustainability project with the goal of restoring the land for nature, growing healthy and ethically produced organic food. We aim to inspire people to reconnect with the land, nature, and sources of food through community outreach, organised education and hospitality events held on the estate.

**Areas of responsibility**:
Primarily, you will support our Botantist with all elements of growing and gardening duties on the estate. This will involve assisting with developing our Market Gardens to grow produce for our London restaurant, and events held on the estate, maintaining the existing gardens, creating new gardens and orchards, developing forest gardens, and implementing best practice environmental methods of growing and food production.

You will be joining a small team serving various estate functions with leadership from the Estate Manager. Your role will be diverse, requiring flexibility in your responsibilities. As a newly founded organisation, there is less structure in place than in most workplaces - you will have to be very comfortable with this and have previous experience working in the ‘grey areas’.

In addition to carrying out essential tasks, the role provides an excellent opportunity to be involved in a new and expanding business with a solid ethical focus on restoring our natural landscape.

**Your experience;**

Essential skills;
- A minimum basic level of horticultural and gardening knowledge, with a passion for it too
