Weed, prune, water and replant the gardens at a mental health rehabilitation inpatient service, working outdoors and independently as the seasons change. You’ll also complete a local induction, trust training and a free standard DBS check.

This volunteering role supports the Mental Health rehabilitation inpatient service at Stewart House through practical gardening work. It is aimed at people who are fit, enjoy being outdoors and have a basic understanding of gardening.

The role is flexible and varies depending on the needs of the gardens and the season.

Typical tasks include weeding, pruning, watering, light digging, replanting, removing debris and sweeping slabs. Volunteers should be able to work independently, carry out physical tasks outdoors and contribute reliably to the service.

A standard DBS check is required, and this is processed free of charge for volunteers. The role also involves completing trust core mandatory training, local induction and orientation, plus any other training required by the trust.
