Octopus are recruiting a full time Community Grower and part time, self-employed Community Gardener!
Community Grower:
Are you brimming with energy, passionate about plants, and eager to green the inner-city environment from the ground up? If you’re a grower at heart with a flair for community-building, we’ve got an exciting opportunity waiting for you!
As part of our exciting five-year plan, we’re on the hunt for a Community Grower to join our award-winning, community-led Urban Growing team based in the vibrant heart of Islington. This is more than a job—it’s where our plant passion meets people power. Together, we’re pioneering sustainable, closed-loop horticulture in one of the London’s most dynamic urban environments.
Community Gardener:
We are seeking to engage an experienced community gardener who is passionate about involving the community in growing plants, herbs, vegetables, and composting. The Community Gardener will support the implementation of a seasonal programme of winter and spring planting, engaging with a network of community growers in Islington. The pro-active engagement of volunteers, residents and families is integral to this programme, so that they can engage confidently and work independently, understanding the practicalities of gardening and horticultural practices.
