Who we are looking for ● Solid practical experience growing flowers, vegetables or both (allotment, garden or professional). ● Knowledge of seasonal British cut flowers, and sustainable growing methods. ● Floristry experience of making arrangements. A certified qualification is a bonus. ● Warm, patient and confident working with people of all ages and abilities. ● Experience of filming and photography (this is a content-rich project). ● Reliable, self-motivated and happy working outdoors in all weather. ● An interest in community development, wellbeing or social enterprise is a bonus.
What you will gain This is an unpaid volunteer role, but it offers real value beyond a pay cheque: ● A visible, credited leadership role working with a community interest company on a live project. ● Access to Osterley Park and House (a stunning National Trust property) as your workplace. ● The chance to shape a community garden and allotment from scratch and see your work make a tangible difference. ● Photography and video of your work shared across Flowerphul’s content channels and website. ● A reference and testimonial from Flowerphul CIC.
