Do you have the practical skills to keep indoor and outdoor spaces and equipment clean, fit for purpose and keep records to ensure compliance?

If so, this may be the perfect opportunity for you!

About the service

Our Green Skills Centre offers group training and development work to young people (ages 14-20) and other groups at risk of experiencing homelessness. We realise that many 'at risk' groups can suffer from a nature deficit and sense of disconnection which can intensify and compound the struggles people face. We aim to be a restorative and supportive influence. We deliver trauma informed and person-centered outdoor learning and wellbeing opportunities, including workshops, accredited training & client-led learning pathways such as sustainable horticulture, market gardening, woodland skills, peer-mentoring and outdoor education.
