  • £32,500 Pro Rata DOE - 4 days/week 
  • North Yorkshire

A Sole Gardener is sought to maintain and manage the gardens of a stunning private Estate in a beautiful part of the country in North Yorkshire.

The Estate sits on the site of an 11th century manor and is surrounded by landscaped gardens and a moat. The 1-acre formal gardens contain a vegetable garden, fruit garden, rose & peony garden, solardome greenhouse, herbaceous borders, extensive lawns, box hedging, ornamental grasses with alliums and a wealth of climbing roses around the whole house.

Our client is looking for a hands-on and driven sole gardener to undertake a range of garden maintenance duties to a high horticultural standard, including pruning and training roses, maintaining herbaceous borders, weeding, strimming, mowing and hedgecutting. The ideal candidate will have the determination, drive and vision to maintain and continue to develop the garden to a high standard.

Applicants should ideally have a minimum Level 2 horticultural qualification, PA1/PA6 spray certificates, combined with good plant knowledge. You will need to be organised, able to plan and prioritise your workload and work to a high standard. Experience with pruning and training roses and growing fruit and vegetables would be required for the role.

Other requirements for the role are good communications skills, you should be prepared to work outside in all weathers, be physically fit and have the ability to operate a range of garden machinery. Additionally, there is a herd of 22 alpacas on site, therefore someone who would be willing to help with occasional jobs such as bringing in for vet visits and feeding while the owner is away would be an advantage.
