The Jeely Training Garden, 55 Machrie Drive, Castlemilk, Glasgow
Help Yourself Grow is a horticultural training programme for young adults with a learning disability and other additional support needs. The programme has been established since 2016.
We are looking for an experienced gardener or trainer who could join our small team to deliver structured sessions at our Castlemilk training garden.
Often the trainees who come to our programme have found mainstream learning challenging, but are keen to enjoy the benefits of gardening and learn new things. Our programme develops a wide range of skills including numeracy, literacy, team working and communication, as well as helping friendships to develop.
You must be a confident gardener, well organised and have a can-do attitude. You will be expected to support learning, encourage participation as well as keeping trainees safe within the training environment, so a knowledge of health and safety within a garden setting would be advantageous.
