We are looking for a volunteer to support our client to tidy and maintain their garden. The garden area is a very important part of this client's home and contributes significantly to their wellbeing. We are looking for a patient and gentle volunteer, who can work alongside our client to help support them to maintain their outdoor areas. Tasks include trimming, weeding and watering etc. This is large job, with a lot of overgrown areas. You will have assistance from the client and it is important that you are able to work at their pace (which maybe slower than you are used to) and gently able to keep them on task.
In this role you will be supported by our Social Worker, who will introduce you to the client and be available for support, if required.
Patient, physically strong and good gardening knowledge. Able to take some direction from the client, who has a very good understanding of plants.
Respectful and non-judgmental attitude towards the client.
Flexible, but ideally once a week. Day and time can be arranged with the client.
