We are looking for an experienced gardener and tutor who could join our bank staff. We provide training courses for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. Our horticulture training runs five days a week in our beautiful garden in Tooting.
As a bank worker with us, you would be responsible for stepping in to provide cover during staff absence. Students come to the garden for educational and wellbeing progression. Your main responsibility would be to support and train students in the full range of horticultural and craft skills required for relevant external qualifications.

We provide a range of programmes empowering adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and adults with other support needs to live happier, healthier, and more independent lives.

Work is offered on an as-needed basis once you are added to our bank staff. There is no guarantee of work; however, we are looking for people who are happy to be contacted at short notice to provide relief or can be booked for block weeks in advance.

You must be a confident gardener and have a can-do attitude. All staff in the garden are expected to keep students safe within the working environment, so knowledge of health and safety within a garden would be a bonus.

To support learning in an inclusive way, encouraging students to work at their best, to stay motivated and engaged with the task at hand
