Sole Gardener
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and skilled Gardener to join a small and friendly team based on a small but picturesque estate on the East Coast. The successful candidate will be solely responsible for the garden and ongoing maintenance of the already established gardens.
The rustic gardens are styled on a typical, traditional romantic English Country Garden and cover approximately 3 acres. The grounds feature a cricket lawn, herbaceous borders, heathers, hedging as well as a variety of both mature sycamore and fruit trees. In addition, there is a wide variety of climbers throughout the property. The owners show a keen interest in the gardens, and additional skills such as flower arranging and cut flower production are desirable but not essential.
The gardens are maintained to a very high standard and applicants must be confident in their ability to prune trees, shrubs, and roses, while also having good knowledge of lawn care and the ability to maintain hedging and planting in a coastal environment. The successful candidate will have a well-rounded skillset, and demonstrable experience working in a similar setting. A relevant horticultural qualification and additional tickets such as PA1/PA6 and chainsaw certificates are advantageous. Knowledge of garden machinery is essential, with the ability to maintain this equipment being valuable.
The ideal candidate will have a can-do attitude and good timekeeping, while being a team player and working harmoniously within the small team. Having a positive attitude is extremely important to the owners, as well as being reliable and committed to the position, showcasing a passion for all things horticulture.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Sole Gardener, who is looking for a long-term position, to implement their skills and flourish within a positive working environment. This is a full-time position, Monday to Friday, however there is a degree of flexibility where required.
Please note that the successful candidate will be subject to a full DBS check.
SALARY: £30,000 – Negotiable depending on experience.
