Job Title: Outdoor Site Assistant – Allotment Project (One Day Only)
Location: Meadow Hill Fields, Roots Allotments Site, Meadow Hill, Coulsdon, CR5 2QQ
Pay: £12.50 per hour (includes a 30-minute paid lunch break)
Date: Tuesday, 19 August
Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Job Description:
Roots Allotments is looking for a few extra pairs of hands to support site work on our Croydon allotment project. The main tasks include laying cardboard and spreading compost to create growing patches. This is hands-on, physical outdoor work — ideal for people who enjoy being active and working outside.
There will be machinery on site (e.g., digger, telehandler) for the heavier jobs, but this role involves manual tasks, so you’ll need to be comfortable with physical work in an outdoor environment.
While this job is for a single day, there may be future opportunities throughout the summer.
What You’ll Do:
- Prepare growing areas using provided materials
- Work as part of a team in an outdoor setting
- Follow site instructions for safety and workflow
Requirements:
- Physically fit and prepared to work outside
- Punctual and reliable
- Safety-conscious and respectful of the site
To Apply:

Spots are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
