Build soil health and biodiversity through permaculture and regenerative practices
Run the nursery and compost, and coordinate volunteers
Care for and beautify the ornamental gardens, working with our land designers
Keep simple records of plantings and harvests

You are practical, reliable and physically fit, and happy to work outdoors in every season
You are able to think outside the box and experiment with new ways of growing
You love plants, soil and creating beautiful spaces
You connect with the NEOS vision and its culture, the New Earth Ways, and bring maturity and a self-leading spirit to a close-knit team
You are willing to learn Portuguese, which is essential for anyone staying long term
Valuable extras: Mediterranean growing and water management, fruit trees and perennial systems, establishing new gardens.
More than a job
Join a lovely group of people who are all contributing to a pioneering project from its early stages, and help build a village where people and nature can thrive together.
