Abundant Borders works to reduce food insecurity, improve wellbeing and strengthen community resilience across the Scottish Borders. We do this by creating and supporting a network of community food gardens where people can learn to grow food sustainably, build skills, connect with others and improve their physical and mental health. Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do, and our gardens provide welcoming, inclusive green spaces that bring communities together.

About the Role

• Help volunteers to set goals, reflect on progress, and engage fully in community life
• Contribute to monitoring, evaluation and volunteer feedback
• Support the development of wellbeing-focused initiatives within garden settings
• Liaise with referring partners (e.g. mental health teams, housing associations, support workers)

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Warm, patient and able to build trusting relationships
• Comfortable supporting people with additional needs or low confidence
• Passionate about the role green spaces play in wellbeing
• Able to work independently across multiple locations
• Organised, reliable and confident managing small groups
• A good communicator who can work collaboratively with staff, volunteers and partners
• Experience in community gardening, mental health support, social care, outdoor learning or community development is welcome—but above all, we value enthusiasm, attitude and commitment.

About us

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness.

That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based.
