Apprentice Growers

Learn to grow food to sell locally and run an organic garden

Growing Communities is a social enterprise based in Hackney. We run a weekly Organic Fruit and Veg Box Scheme, the Stoke Newington Farmers Market and three Urban Market Gardens.

We are recruiting four volunteer Apprentice Growers. The apprenticeship runs from April to October, one day a week, with additional monthly evening tutorials. Afterwards we aim to offer the apprentices the chance to grow their own produce on our Patchwork Farm in Hackney.

We are looking for enthusiastic people who are keen to learn about growing food in a sustainable way, and who enjoy working outdoors and cooperating with other people. We particularly welcome applications from sectors of the community at risk of social exclusion, including young unemployed people, refugees, and people with mental health problems.

Closing date for applications is 5pm Monday 5^th March. To apply please download the job pack from the Jobs page on our website: www.growingcommunities.org, or phone 020 7502 7588.
