An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a skilled RHS-qualified Experienced Gardener to join a dedicated and motivated team responsible for maintaining the stunning formal gardens of a growing, prestigious family-owned estate. The grounds feature beautifully designed landscapes, including intricate topiary, flourishing rose gardens, and vibrant herbaceous borders, alongside newly developed areas that offer an exciting opportunity to contribute to their ongoing establishment and refinement.

This role would suit individuals who take genuine pride in their work, enjoy being part of a passionate and collaborative horticultural team, and are committed to creating and maintaining exceptional outdoor spaces.

You will also contribute to the care and refinement of newly developed garden areas, applying your expertise to shape and enhance these evolving landscapes. Collaboration with estate managers and external contractors will be key to ensuring the smooth running of all horticultural operations, making this an exciting and dynamic role for an experienced professional.

This is a hands-on diverse role that will involve operating and maintaining specialist machinery, including ride-on mowers, strimmer’s, blowers, and hedge cutters, while ensuring all tools remain in excellent condition. Managing and maintaining the estate’s irrigation systems will be essential in supporting the health and vitality of its stunning plant collections and immaculate lawns.

Candidates ideally will have a RHS qualification or worked in a similar environment, with a strong background in formal settings. PA1 and PA6 spraying certificates are essential, along with hands-on experience in managing irrigation systems to support the estate’s diverse plant collections.

The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator with a proactive and positive approach, bringing an organised and methodical mindset to their work. The ability to work both independently and as part of a close-knit team is key, as is a keen eye for detail and a dedication to maintaining exceptional horticultural standards.

Experience in shaping and nurturing newly developed landscapes would be highly beneficial, and a full UK driving licence is required.

This is a full-time position, with working hours from 08:00 to 16:00. The role involves a five-day working week, which may include weekends as part of a rota. The salary offered is up to £35,000 per annum, depending on experience, with a discretionary annual bonus following a successful probationary period.

An enhanced DBS check, which will be covered by the employer, and the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement are required as part of the employment terms.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to work within a growing prestigious estate, contributing to its ongoing development, refinement, and beauty. As a member of a highly skilled team, you will play a vital role in shaping and maintaining a truly remarkable setting, combining your expertise with your passion for horticulture.
