Job description:
Responsibility for the maintenance of grounds and conservation areas at a prison is just the beginning of this important role.
You will also help offenders to develop skills, confidence and employability by delivering and assessing accredited vocational qualifications.
Leading a party of prisoners, you will instruct them in every aspect of gardening duties, including the use of machinery.
Under your guidance, they will take responsibility for their own environment - maintaining everything from lawns, to water features, to woodland, and carrying out both soft and hard landscaping.
Crucially, you will deliver on the prison's bio-diversity action plan by developing the conservation area, and monitoring flora and fauna.
We will also look to you to submit surveys for land based activities.
Perhaps most rewarding of all, you will enjoy scope to deliver a project that may lead to a truly unique achievement for you and your party.
