We are looking for a practical, calm and encouraging person to join the team at The Scadbury Centre, supporting adults with learning disabilities to take part in meaningful activities across our horticulture, conservation and social enterprise work.
 

This is a hands-on role. You will support members throughout the day in a range of practical and person-centred ways, helping them to feel safe, included, confident and able to participate. This may include supporting gardening and horticulture activities, helping members use tools and materials safely, preparing resources, encouraging engagement, supporting routines, and helping with the general day-to-day running of the Centre.
 

The role will also play a key role in supporting and developing our social enterprise activities, including growing, making, preparing, maintaining and presenting products or services linked to the work of the Centre. The focus is not simply on completing tasks, but on helping members to be involved, learn by doing, build confidence and take pride in their contribution.
 

You do not need to be a formal teacher, gardener or care worker, but you will need to be practical, reliable, patient and willing to get stuck in. You should be comfortable working outdoors in different weather, supporting people with varied needs, and adapting your approach depending on the person, activity and situation.
 

This role would suit someone who enjoys working with people, nature and practical projects, and who believes that adults with learning disabilities should have access to purposeful, respectful and enjoyable opportunities in their local community.
