We are seeking a friendly, organised, part time administrator, to provide support to the Head Gardener at our Wales Garden in Cardiff.
The Cardiff garden opened in 2022 as our sixth garden and has been beautifully designed by award winning designer Sarah Price.
Horatio’s Garden is a charity that creates and cares for beautiful gardens in NHS spinal injury centres. Leading garden designers develop the stunning sanctuaries for patients and their family and friends, creating an environment which becomes an integral part of their lives and care whilst spending many months in hospital.
The beautiful garden includes stunning naturalistic planting and a large garden room to give patients a warm sheltered place to enjoy the garden in all weathers. The garden also features a large glasshouse, where garden therapy sessions are held for patients, and a comfortable office for garden staff which looks out over the garden.
The Garden Administrator will join a team of seven other dedicated administrators across the charity’s existing projects. You will work closely with the Head Gardener and a team of volunteers to create a warm and welcoming space for patients and their visitors.
You will be responsible for the administration of the garden and coordination of the large group of volunteers. With the Head Gardener you will also arrange social events for patients, their families and visitors.
This role is a fantastic opportunity for a confident administrator who is efficient and organised, with great IT skills and a proactive, can-do attitude. You will need to be adaptable and friendly and happy working with volunteers and patients. An understanding of the healing benefits of gardens would be beneficial. We welcome informal enquiries.

• Purchasing necessary supplies for the garden
• Collate the banking of donations and managing petty cash
• Support the sale of charity merchandise and replenish stock as required, with regular stock takes
• Ensure promotional leaflets and posters are tidy, up to date, stocked and on display
• Other duties to support the efficient running of the garden
Essential skills and experience required:
• Highly competent administrative experience, at least 2 years
• Excellent IT competence, agility and experience with using Microsoft 365 programmes, in particular Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, in person, over the phone and in writing
• Outstanding attention to detail, proactive, lots of initiative and drive
• Able to form positive working relationships with staff at all levels, key stakeholders and volunteers
• An adaptable and flexible attitude
• Approachable, friendly and the passion to advocate for the values of the charity
Desirable skills and experience:
• Experience of volunteer coordination and recruitment
• Experience of organising events and fundraising activities
• Bookkeeping
• Appreciation of gardens and their ability to heal
