Role
Do you want to work outdoors in a beautiful community garden?
Are you passionate about working with people and providing meaningful activities?
This opportunity within our Midlothian Community Hospital Gardens could be perfect for you!
About the project
We support people in our community garden to feel part of something, learn new skills and create a place where people feel closer to nature.
The focus is on creating and managing a programme of gardening and landscaping activities for people on community payback orders to participate in. We support a maximum of four people at a time to help create and maintain a beautiful space for the hospital and the local community to enjoy.
About the role
You’ll work closely with those on community payback orders and community volunteers to:
- Contribute to the design and maintenance of the garden

There will be great opportunities for you to learn and develop, while sharing your skills and experiences.
