Role

Urban Roots is a thriving environmental and health improvement organisation.

We are looking to recruit an experienced person to coordinate activities in two community gardens in Toryglen. This will involve managing the weekly volunteering groups at these gardens, led by our Community Therapeutic Gardener and with the support of our Volunteer Coordinator. You will also be responsible for coordinating our outreach work with local Care Home, housing associations, community based support organisations and schools.

Your role will also involve running our Garden Task Force. This is a volunteer group which supports schools and community groups to establish or refurbish community food growing spaces across the Southside.
