About Us

Lambhill Stables is a community owned charity in the North of Glasgow providing recreational, educational, training and employment opportunities. Our aims are to develop and deliver programmes of community-based activities in support of our provisions, to engage in viable and socially inclusive activity and to do so in a sustainable way.

Job Purpose

• Work with Lambhill Stables staff to plan and implement a seasonal growing plan, clearly setting out visible plans within the Community Garden so that volunteers can work together and independently.
• Work with existing volunteers and young people to co-create a progressive volunteer programme so that those volunteering have a clear pathway to progressing into designated roles that support the effective community learning programme.
• Implement a hands-on, experiential learning programme to enable volunteers, residents and workshop participants to acquire new and develop their skills and knowledge so that they can carry out their role with confidence, and independently.

About the role

We are seeking to engage an experienced community gardener who is passionate about involving the community in growing plants, herbs, vegetables, and composting. The Community Gardener will support the implementation of a year-round programme of planting. The proactive engagement of volunteers, school children and families is integral to this programme, so that they can engage confidently and work independently, understanding the practicalities of gardening and horticultural practices.

You will be responsible for planning and facilitating practical workshops, engaging and leading volunteers, and helping to maintain the Community Garden working alongside out Landscaper and trainees. Workshops and hands-on sessions will focus on facilitating the development of basic gardening skills, with an emphasis on plant cultivation and habitat development. Additionally, you are encouraged to incorporate creative elements engaging in nature-based crafts, for example, making seasonal festive wreaths, bug hotels and bird feeders.

Lambhill Stables has an established and well-developed community garden incorporating food growing and nature-based projects that seek to engage people of all ages and backgrounds, including:

• Weekly volunteer groups that encourage community participation and provide a restorative space for those who with additional needs or socially excluded.
• Seasonal food growing for use in our Community Cafe
• Environmental education for visiting school aged groups who learn about food growing, horticulture and maintaining healthy ecosystems.

The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator and an organised self-starter with demonstrable experience in sound horticultural practices (particularly food-growing) who thrives in taking the initiative to deliver creative workshops within a community setting.

The successful candidate should be able to communicate clearly, work methodically to encourage participants to improve their confidence and ability learn new skills and exchange their know-how with others.

A key aspect of the Community Gardener role is the engagement and training of local volunteers – some of whom may be vulnerable – to grow and learn in a practical and experiential context. You will relish the challenge of getting people of diverse backgrounds excited about gardening, nature and food growing.

This is an immensely rewarding role working in a dynamic community setting built on an ethos of dignity and inclusivity, that would suit a committed individual who is willing to go the extra mile.

We are an equal opportunities employer and committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable people. The post is subject to pre-employment reference and PVG check.

Additional Duties

• Support with maintaining the garden space to ensure it is safe, secure, and well-presented at all times.
• Ensure all organisational health and safety policies and procedures are followed, reporting and mitigating any risks as they arise.

GNWCAB’s Board of Directors are looking for four new Directors to work alongside other board members to oversee and support our Chief Executive and our dynamic team of staff and volunteers. Later this year, we will be moving premises and we are seeking to expand our Board to support this process and our onward development. At this important point in our journey, we are seeking Directors who can bring different perspectives to help the Bureau achieve its plans for the future and provide the most relevant and accessible advice services possible.

The Board is currently made up of seven Directors, each offering a different skillset that can support the governance needs and development aims of the organisation. We welcome applications from anyone who feels passionate about our work, regardless of professional background.

The Board has identified an upcoming skills gap related to third sector fundraising and governance, and we hope to fill one of the four roles with someone who has experience of this kind. We would encourage applicants with this background to also consider joining our Finance, Risk, and Audit Committee (FRAC).

For the remaining three roles, we encourage candidates of all kinds, particularly those with strong knowledge of and connections to north west Glasgow. Most important to us is finding candidates who fit our values and our organisation. We are looking for people who are approachable, transparent, team players, positive influencers and who are willing to contribute to debate.

GNWCAB’s staff team, volunteers and clients come from a diverse range of backgrounds, and widening access and inclusion is central to our mission and our values. We want our Board to be representative of our local community and so would welcome approaches from people who live locally or have lived experience of issues facing our clients. We encourage applications from groups that are under-represented on charity boards, particularly people from Black, Asian, or other minority ethnic communities, as well as young and Disabled people.

We happily welcome applications from people who have not been senior volunteers or sat on a board before. GNWCAB is committed to the on-going development of our staff and volunteers and we provide opportunities for training and engagement across the organisation on a regular basis. As a new Director, you will be fully inducted and offered training tailored to your level of experience that would support your development in the role.

In this role you will be responsible for maintaining and developing all areas of the work of the Royston Food Hub, supporting local communities and individuals through the provision of food education alongside improved access to fruit and vegetables, and opportunities to take part in growing activities.

You will take an active role in building partnerships and joint working with a range of organisations and groups to plan and deliver food based focused work, and you will have day to day responsibility for the running and development of services including Royston Community Pantry, healthy eating sessions, cookery classes, youth gardening and community growing.
