We are looking for someone with a flair for supporting community growing organisations, including community gardens, city farms and care farms. The role will suit someone creative, methodical and comfortable with people. The role involves getting out and about, but most of the work is office work.

There are three elements to the role advertised: a) London Development 3 days a week To support the delivery and co-ordination of a programme of targeted training and capacity-building for city farms and community gardens in London to improve their long-term viability, thereby contributing to the sustainability of vibrant local communities throughout the capital.

Annual outputs include: Training days designed and delivered by SF&G members Networking tours of community growing spaces Showcase events including the London Harvest Festival b) Green Care Quality Mark (GCQM) Administration 1.5 days a week To support the UK-Wide GCQM programme liaising with our panel of Assessors, assigning applications for review and inputting data into our ‘Civi’ CRM. The programme helps green care practitioners such as care farms demonstrate to clients, funders, commissioners, referrers and volunteers that they operate a safe, professional and caring place to be. The post holder will be responsible for administration and promotion of the GCQM, and supported by managers to retain participants of the scheme, attract new enrolments, and increase the associated earned income for SF&G. c) SF&G Membership Support A half day a week will be dedicated to supporting SF&Gs UK- wide membership programme through social media, newsletters and database management.
