Summary

PERMANENT PART-TIME LIVE-OUT GARDENER | DEVON, WEST ANSTEY, UK;
SALARY: 20-28 GBP/HOUR GROSS
PHS JOB 3030

Perfect Household Staff is proud to present a new opportunity for a professional Gardener to support a lovely, respectful couple residing in the countryside of Devon. The family home consists of a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom main house and a charming 3-bedroom guest cottage, occasionally used for guests and soon to be converted into an Airbnb. While the property is pet-free at present, the couple are planning to introduce animals in the future, including cats, chickens, and potentially donkeys. The surrounding area is peaceful, picturesque, and ideal for candidates who thrive in a rural setting. Given the countryside location, a full UK driving licence is essential.

This is a fantastic part-time live-out position for an experienced and reliable Gardener seeking long-term employment in a private household. The role offers 12–16 hours per week, ideally spread over either three half days (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9am–1/2pm) or two full days.

Working in a private estate environment involves a wide variety of indoor and outdoor responsibilities. You will be responsible for lawn care, border and bed maintenance, pruning, weed control, composting, and light tree maintenance, alongside basic home repairs and upkeep of the driveway, paths, and patio. As the household expands to include pets, animal care duties will also be introduced.

Our household staffing agency has been assisting professional Gardeners in finding the perfect domestic staff jobs for over 15 years. We are one of the top boutique agencies in the UK specialising in various placements. If you are looking to be employed as a Gardener/Handyperson, you have come to the right place. We will help you to find a fantastic opportunity with a kind and respectful private family.

Only candidates who have the eligibility to work in the UK will be considered for this role.
