Therapeutic Gardener at Elizabeth Fry Charity
We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Gardener to join our dedicated team and
contribute to Elizabeth Fry Charity as it continues to increase and develop the support it
provides to women in the criminal justice system.
Elizabeth Fry Charity runs a 24 bed Approved Premises for women who are under supervision of
the Probation Service. Residents at the Approved Premises have access to a range of purposeful
activities aimed to support them to address issues that led to their offending and to develop
the skills for them to lead an offending-free life in future. The Charity also provides an
Outreach Service, supporting women who have moved on from the Approved Premises to the local
area.
We are now seeking an experienced and skilled Gardener who could work alongside a small group
of residents to maintain our outdoor space and share the benefits of working outdoors.
About the Role
The role is for five hours a week, times, and days to be agreed with the successful candidate.
The role is based on a 12-month contract with potential for extension if further funding is
secured.
We know that there are clear benefits to gardening which include better physical health,
improved mental health through sense of purpose and achievement and a reduction in stress. We
are looking for an individual who has both the practical and people skills needed to lead and
work alongside residents in the Charity’s garden. Our aim for this activity is to support
improvements in residents physical and mental health, whilst also enabling them to acquire new
skills and potentially grow their own food.
