About the Role

Greenfingers is a national charity dedicated to creating magical, therapeutic gardens for life-limited children and their families and carers to improve their time spent in hospices across the UK. We create beautiful, well-designed outdoor spaces. Whilst many people may take for granted the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy a garden, for these children, their siblings and their families, the chance to spend time together outdoors and away from the bedside is precious.

Over the last 25 years, Greenfingers has designed and built almost 70 gardens in children’s hospices, and this is where we need your support. As a Garden Ambassador, you will support the Greenfingers Garden(s) in your local area.

To ensure our garden support calendar is managed, you will work with hospices in your area to ensure their Greenfingers Garden is well-maintained and continues to be a usable space by:

• Guiding the Garden design to Maturity in the Spirit of the Design
• Liaising with the relevant team within the hospice
• Gaining trust and building a working relationship with the Hospice Garden Volunteers
• Providing support and guidance to hospice volunteers, as appropriate.
• Providing monthly status reports, highlighting issues and recommending solutions

This is an exciting and new role for the charity, which may suit a presently self-employed Gardener looking to expand their portfolio by supporting a hospice garden into the future.

Requirements for the role:

• Practical hands-on Garden Maintenance experience
• Own Transport & Full Driving License
• Public Liability Insurance
• Ability to work with others
• DBS Check
