Our Barnardo’s Gardeners support us to carry out general gardening duties and tidying of outdoor areas in our regulated settings.
We are looking for enthusiastic people to join our team, with a love of the outdoors and an interest in supporting children and families to engage with outdoor play and growing activities.
The Isle of Wight has 8 Family Hubs/Centres across the Island which require green-fingered gardeners, who can help us to maintain our outdoor spaces, and help create warm and welcoming safe spaces for our families/children and visitors?
