We are looking for a Gardening Supervisor to join our caring and dynamic team, which is working to improve the lives of people with learning difficulties and mental health needs. The ideal candidate will help develop our volunteers’ skills, while maintaining and improving customers’ gardens and grounds.
The Hextol Foundation
We are an independent charitable company based in Hexham & Newcastle. Our purpose is to provide working opportunities to people with learning difficulties and/or mental health needs so they can develop their skills and self-esteem and grow in confidence, creating a positive impact on the quality of their lives.
We run several not for profit enterprises that provide safe and supported work experience and work-based training for adults with learning difficulties and/or mental health needs.
More information about our origins, mission and values can be found in the About us section.
One of our key services is gardening, and we have teams running from both our Hexham and Newcastle bases, working for customers across the Tyne Valley.
The teams at both sites provide gardening services to domestic customers, schools, and other institutions.
Staff work with teams of volunteers to carry out this work, which includes garden maintenance, soft-landscaping, design and improvement. We are seeking an additional Gardening Supervisor to be based in Hexham.
This is a wonderful opportunity for someone with enthusiasm, dedication, the desire to help others, and a love of gardening. Working to make real and tangible differences to the lives of our beneficiaries is as important in the role as gardening ability.
You will receive a full induction, training, and the chance to work in a supportive and rewarding environment.
