We are seeking an experienced grower with excellent horticultural and interpersonal skills to lead the field-based activity for our beneficiaries at our Tebay site, and deliver on our growing for commercial supply chains.
The horticultural context is key to our charity as it provides a safe, supportive working environment to nurture mental health recovery.
This is an exciting time to join Growing Well as this role also includes assisting with our new project to develop and grow a commercial tree nursery on the Tebay site to supply Cumbria-based planting schemes.
Horticultural experience essential (previous work with trees particularly valued), therapeutic experience desired. Experience of training or leading groups is also preferred.

Support Volunteers
Growing Well West Cumbria, Egremont
1 day per week, Monday through to Thursdays, 9am to 4pm
- Are you passionate about people?
- Can you lend a hand to support them to recover and move on with their lives?
- Do you love the outdoors, nature and growing food to eat?
For every day session we run at Beck Green Nursery, Egremont, there are up to 15 participants at any given time, supervised by two staff members.
Each session also needs 2 x volunteers to support our staff in this work; sometimes helping individuals with additional needs to participate with the group, sometimes just mucking in to get planting and harvesting done and dusted for our Crop Share veg box customers.
Always being part of an awesome team that works together, achieves amazing things and leaves no one behind.
Full mental health risk and safeguarding training will be provided – no prior experience necessary – and you’ll be supported by a team of professional staff to deliver your role. Plus, PPE, a hot, healthy lunch and all the tea and biscuits you need are included.
If you can spare the time to support those in your community in most need of help, we’d love to hear from you.
