About the activities

John Evelyn Community Garden located at Windlass Place, Deptford, London SE8 is open for everyone to enjoy. The principle which inspires this project is to create a Totally Edible Garden with recreation and resting areas that are attractive and accessible to all, including people with disabilities.

This is an opportunity for you to involve yourself in the activities. Pepys Community Forum is also keen to gather persons interested in Green Issues, in order to create a discussion group to source funding and implement measures that better our immediate environment and leave a better world for our children.

The garden is open most Saturdays and Sundays from 12 noon onwards.

The Evelyn Community Garden is looking for a Garden Co-ordinator

Garden Co-ordinator for the Evelyn Community Garden which is based in Windlass Place SE8 on the Pepys Estate in Deptford. This is a 28 hour a week post funded by the South London & Maudesley Trust for 3 years.

Annual Salary: £24000 pro rata for 28 hours Annual leave entitlement: 28 days pro rata Overtime: There are no funds for paid overtime. PCF operates a Time off in Lieu policy. It is likely that there will be evening and weekend working dependant on what is organised in the garden.

We would like, if possible, to fill the post through a job-share arrangement for 2 people working 14 hours a week each. The main reasons for this are:

To encourage a diversity of experience
To create a mini-team

It also matters because one of the reasons for receiving the funding is to develop a patient referral system, so that people who could benefit from activity in the garden for a variety of well-being reasons can be encouraged and supported to do so. We think it is important that 1 of the job-share post-holders could develop this on the basis of their prior experience.

The key dates to note are:

Applications returned by Feb 13th [We acknowledge the short notice and will extend to Monday 16th]
Invite for interviews no later than Feb 19th
Interviews on Thursday Feb 26th
