VOLUNTEER GROUNDSKEEPER
We're looking for someone to mow our lawns using a ride-on, whipper snip around garden beds and support with general groundskeeping. We have a raised beds area, a productive market garden, two small orchards and outdoor dining space that need care and maintenance.
We are looking for someone who can join us on Tuesdays (which is our regular volunteering day), however we can accomodate Monday-Friday. We would consider multiple people on a rotation. Please email hello@commongroundproject.com.au telling us if you’re confident and available to help out!
Coffee, morning tea & lunch are provided on Tuesdays. Coffee only provided otherwise Monday-Friday.
Why join our volunteering community?
Volunteer at the heart of connecting and empowering the community through food and farming.
Be inspired by and connect with Common Ground Project staff and volunteers who work and volunteer across our farm team, Food Hub, Education and Staying Grounded teams. We’re a dynamic team of chefs, farmers, educators, food systems thinkers and doers, passionate about transforming our local food system!
In-house training where suitable to support the volunteering position.
We’d love for you to have:
Experience using groundskeeper tools and mowers safely.
A desire to keep tools in order and follow instructions on a process/system for usage (as they are shared tools across our farm operations).
A current Victorian Working With Children Check (volunteer only required, which is free) prior to commencement as we have youth programs on Tuesdays.
