We are looking for a Volunteer Gardener to support a small, solo residential home for an adult with additional needs in Aston Clinton.

• A reliable, patient, and respectful approach
• Someone who enjoys working outdoors at their own pace
• Ability to follow basic health and safety guidance

🌼 What you’ll gain:

• The opportunity to make a real difference to a child’s home environment
