Activities & Shift

You'll be helping 3 days a week; shifts are flexible, and we'll discuss them together.

The work is varied and changes depending on the projects we have underway. Activities may include building and carpentry, painting and restoration, gardening and landscaping, weed management, property maintenance and general outdoor work.

We have several ongoing projects around the property — our current list stands at 17, and just when we think we're getting to the end, another project seems to emerge! Practical skills and experience in building, carpentry, landscaping or similar hands-on work are therefore especially welcome. We also value people who are happy to get involved, work independently when needed and enjoy seeing a project through.

No two days are necessarily the same!


Rules

Non-smokers only, and we prefer vegans or vegetarians
