Our training includes horticulture, rural skills, independent living skills and employability development through our ‘Routes to Work’ programme.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Development Manager and Employability Garden Manager to develop and deliver our employability strategy. It’s a people-focused role combining training, advocacy, management, and workplace partnership building.
The position requires travel to work placements/businesses etc. The successful applicant will have a full clean driving license and access to a vehicle.
