Forest Farm Peace Garden is a small East London charity offering ecotherapy and community gardening to support people s mental health and wellbeing.
We are looking for a strategic, hands on Director (21 hours per week) to lead our next chapter, working closely with a committed staff team, trustees and volunteers.
As Director you will hold overall responsibility for the charity s vision, strategy and day to day operations, ensuring our programmes run safely, sustainably and in line with our values. You will lead on fundraising and finance, including developing and delivering a fundraising strategy, managing budgets and reporting to funders and the Board of Trustees.
You will line manage our Ecotherapy Worker, Gardener, and three sessional staff, nurture a positive, inclusive culture, and make sure staff and volunteers are supported to do their best work. Building relationships with local mental health services, community organisations and partners will be central to the role, helping us reach people who can benefit most from time in the garden.
This role would suit someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with practical delivery in a small organisation, and who is confident working independently while collaborating closely with others. If you care about mental health, social justice and nature connection, and want to help a much loved local project thrive, we would love to hear from you.
