About Us

At the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, we harness the power of our science, and the rich diversity of our gardens and collections to unearth why plants and fungi matter to everyone. Our mission is to unlock the potential of plants and fungi, through the power of scientific discovery and research. We are fighting for a world where plants and fungi are understood, valued and protected. We employ people like you to conduct cutting-edge research, stimulate curiosity and debate, cultivate our two beautiful gardens and work with the public to encourage a life-long love of plants. We currently employ around 1000 staff and work with around 800 volunteers to achieve our goals; find out what opportunities we have for you to be part of the team. In 2021, Kew launched its Manifesto for Change and training the next generation of experts is one of Kew’s five key priorities for the next 10 years. We are now looking for a highly competent member of our Science education support team to administer and coordinate a range of training opportunities for undergraduates, postgraduates and professionals.
