WORLDWIDE GARDENS WEEKEND

Voluntary Personal Assistant/Administrator needed to assist the Chairman of WorldWide Gardens Weekend, which works to enlist towns and cities throughout the UK, Europe and the rest of the world, to organise Open Gardens and Parks Days/Weekends on the same weekend each year. The gardens and parks include communal and community gardens, gardens of commercial premises and historic buildings, ecclesiastical and museum gardens, some public gardens and parks, allotments, roof gardens. The event will be similar to the Heritage Open Days event, held for buildings in September throughout Europe, but opening gardens, when they are usually at their best.

 

This is an exciting new project and the post would suit someone with enthusiasm, flair, energy and good IT and other secretarial skills. One day a week required at present, although this may change with the growth of the project. The post holder should live, preferably, on the western side of London and be prepared to work from home for most of the time. Regrettably there are no funds available, at present, to pay travel and other expenses, but funding is being sought.

 

Please apply sending a brief CV to: Ian Kennaway, Chairman WWGW, 32 Rylett Crescent, London W12 9RL or ian@kennaway.net by 30th September 2009
