What would I be doing as a care home gardening volunteer?

You would be helping the maintenance team as needed, supporting with gardening tasks and general maintenance of the care home gardens.  

What impact would I have?

These simple gardening tasks could free up another care home colleague and also help our residents to enjoy their surroundings. 

 We’re looking for people who have the following skills and qualities:

• Physically able to perform tasks required
• Able to use your initiative and learn new tasks through online training
• Able to multi-task or move from one task to another as needed
• Well organised
• Flexible, reliable, and punctual
• Able to take instruction and direction
• Understanding of the needs of older people
• Enjoy working with older people

Why volunteer for MHA?

If you are passionate about caring for older people, MHA is the place for you. We are a national charity inspiring the best care at every stage of later life. It is our mission to enable people to live later life well and you could help us achieve this. 

Our volunteers are making a difference every day

You could join a team like the one at Brockworth House, the home manager, Samantha says: “They are committed to their role and go above and beyond in their duties. You can’t put into words all those special things they do for everyone.”
