Groundwork Kent & Medway, working with Greening the Gateway Kent & Medway, is creating Team Green employment opportunities for long term unemployed people to improve the environment in North Kent.

Over the next 18-24 months Groundwork plans to employ 70 Team Green Trainees on six month contracts, working in teams of 10, supervised by experienced Groundwork staff. The first team should be operational end November 2009, based in Gillingham.

We are now seeking work sites for this team around North Kent. Work should benefit the wider community and should be “additional” i.e. unlikely to take place without Team Green and not in competition with existing contracts.

Most programme costs are covered by the Department for Work and Pensions’ Future Jobs Fund, but we may need to make a small charge to cover full costs. Included in this would be all labour and supervision costs, supply of basic hand tools and transport. Materials such as plants and skips would be additional.

Please do not see this potential cost as a barrier to making an enquiry – at this stage we are more interested in finding out the scope of work available for Team Green.
