About the job

Our allotment sites have community at the heart of them and thrive on good vibes created by patch manager and the wider Roots team.

From welcoming customers to watering patches, or teaching local school kids how to grow, you'll be the heart and soul of our newly launching growing community. There will be some computer-based work needed but you'll be outside enjoying the sunshine most of the time.
