About us

The Greenhouse at Barnes Close is a retreat centre for justice, reconciliation and peace nestled into the Waseley Hills. Originally a Cadbury family home, this 1830’s historic building is a local treasure with a rich heritage of peacemaking work and we receive visitors and guests of all kinds throughout the year. We are looking to build a small, reliable pool of local people to join our ad-hoc maintenance team.

The Role

This is casual, ad-hoc work to help keep our building and grounds looking their best. There are no fixed weekly hours; instead, we will contact you on a flexible basis as and when tasks arise. Tasks are straightforward and basic, including:

• Replacing or installing basic locks and door fittings

What We Are Looking For:

• A practical, "can-do" attitude with basic DIY skills

• Ability to work well alongside others
• Proximity to Bromsgrove (ideal for someone looking for local, casual hours). Having your own transport is essential as the centre is not accessible by public transport
• Experience working on older properties is a bonus, but not essential
• A basic level of English language skills sufficient to communicate effectively and to safely follow instructions from line-management and team members

What We Offer:

• £15.00 – £17.50 per hour, paid via casual PAYE payroll
• Complete flexibility—work around your existing schedule, retirement, or other commitments
• Tools, safety equipment, and materials are provided by the centre
• A warm, friendly, and respectful working environment

Pay: £15.00-£17.50 per hour

Expected hours: 2.0 – 16.0 per week

Benefits:

• Free parking

Application question(s):

• The centre is not accessible by public transport therefore having access to your own vehicle is essential for this role.
