Main duties and responsibilities for this role include grass and hedge cutting, border maintenance, clearing leaves, spraying, litter picking, and using hand tools and powered horticultural machinery to ensure all sites and external areas are maintained to a high standard.

In return we offer competitive rates of pay, flexible working, and the opportunity to earn overtime from March to September, along with additional winter payments from October to March. We provide 28 days annual leave including bank holidays, life assurance, a pension scheme, company vehicle and market leading machinery, as well as company uniform and PPE. We are also committed to personal investment in training and development.
