All Abilities Gardening Mentor - Colac Community Nursery
Our Colac Community Nursery is the only nursery in the region to grow all our stock on site! We specialise in plants local to the Otway region, and a large range of beautiful Australian native plants.
The nursery provides supported employment for people with a disability, so they can experience meaningful employment and build their skills in a supported space.
The role
The purpose of the Volunteer Nursery Assistant is to encourage, and mentor supported workers. You will help these individuals to learn new skills that will give them the opportunity to access mainstream employment and improve general work prospects. Whilst being a mentor in the space, you will get your hands dirty in the garden, from maintaining the quality and health of the plants, to repotting, transporting and organising the plants. All whilst having a little fun and laughter along the way!
