Are you passionate about people, plants and helping communities grow? 

We are looking for an enthusiastic and proactive Community Gardening Coordinator to lead and develop our Growing Together project and support the ongoing coordination of our green spaces and outdoor community hub,  

This exciting and varied role combines practical gardening and community development. You will use our green spaces as a tool to bring people together to improve wellbeing and create opportunities for people to connect with nature, their neighbours and the local community.  

Working closely with Alliance Homes Community Investment Team and the Our Neighbourhood Network project, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, you will coordinate a small team of freelance gardeners, nature-based practitioners, volunteers and community participants to ensure our outdoor spaces thrive and remain welcoming, inclusive environments for everyone. 

This is a hands-on role that would suit someone who believes in the power of community, enjoys working outdoors, and understands how gardening and nature can create meaningful opportunities for engagement and personal growth.  

 About you

You’ll already have experience developing and leading community-based gardening projects. This will include planning, coordinating gardeners, volunteers and community groups whilst monitoring the project alongside managing budgets and reporting outcomes.

With a good understanding of Health and Safety and Asset-Based Community Development principles, you will be confident in delivering workshops and sessions within a small team, particularly in an outdoor environment.

You’ll also be comfortable coordinating freelancers, volunteers, and community groups, and be good at encouraging and motivating people outdoors.

You will be an ambassador for Alliance Homes and our values, continually seeking ways to improve our services and maximise the positive impact of our community spaces.  

The role will require occasional weekend and evening work, to run or support community events.  Whilst the role is primarily based in Weston-super-Mare, you must have access to your own transport and be able to drive within the area in which Alliance Homes operates.

The successful candidate will be subject to a satisfactory Enhanced DBS check.

We review applications when received, so we may close the vacancy early if we find that perfect candidate. If the role interests you, then apply now. Previous applicants need not apply.

At Alliance, we create places our customers are proud to call home. Across more than 7,000 homes, our teams care deeply about the people and communities we support. We want our customers to feel they belong, feel safe and have the opportunity to thrive.

We’re a purpose-led organisation with a strong performance culture, where colleagues are supported to bring their best every day. We call this being on your A-Game, using the right mindset and skills to deliver great outcomes for customers, colleagues and stakeholders, with compassion and care.

Our A-Game standards outline the behaviours we ask our colleagues to live by:

• We are all about the customer

• We are one team

• We are easy to do business with

• We are striving for excellence

• We are forward thinking

We’re committed to building a workforce that reflects the diversity of our customers and communities, and to creating an environment where colleagues can truly be themselves at work. Our colleagues consistently tell us we’re a great place to work through our colleague survey, which uses the internationally recognised Great Place to Work Trust Index.

We’re continuing to build an inclusive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to grow, succeed and be recognised for the great work they do.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader. As part of this, we guarantee that any individual with a disability will get an interview if they match the minimum essential criteria for the role. We also adopt the same principles for members of the LGBTQ+ community or those from Global Majority backgrounds. 

We want everyone to feel supported throughout the recruitment process, so please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you showcase your talents. This could include adjustments relating to a disability or neurodiversity, such as dyslexia, or arranging interview times around childcare or caring responsibilities.

Depending on your role, you’ll have the flexibility to work from one of our office hubs, from home, or while out and about using one of our mobile hotspots.

We’ve invested in flexible workspaces and technology so you can work in a way that supports both your wellbeing and work/life balance. How this works in practice will always be considered alongside the needs of the business, our customers and your team.

Our head office in Portishead is located by the Marina, with free parking and easy access to shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Our offices in Portishead and Weston-super-Mare have both been newly refurbished, creating modern, collaborative and welcoming spaces to work.

If you need any support with your application, please call 03000 120120 or email askhr@alliancehomes.org.uk and we will be happy to help.

Our People Team reviews and acknowledges every application we receive, so please keep an eye on your inbox for updates (and check your spam folder just in case).
