    • Using equipment like mowers, strimmers, and hedge cutters
    • Spotting and reporting issues (damage, safety concerns, fly-tipping)
    • Working safely and taking pride in high standards
    • Interacting with residents in a friendly, helpful way
    • Recording your work using simple handheld devices
    • Helping the team with seasonal jobs like gritting in winter

    • Basic knowledge of gardening or horticulture
    • Able to work independently and manage your own time
    • Friendly, reliable, and team-oriented
    • Full UK manual driving licence (essential)

➕ Bonus Points If You Have
  • Horticulture qualification (Level 1 or similar)
    • PA1 / PA6 pesticide certificates
    • LANTRA training

🚐 What You Need to Know

    • Ideally live within a 30-minute commute
    • Shared company van provided (van share)
    • Basic DBS check required
    • Must have the right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)

💚 Why You’ll Enjoy This Role
  • Work outdoors instead of being stuck behind a desk
    • Stay active and hands-on every day
    • Be part of a friendly, supportive team
    • See the real impact of your work in local communities
    • Stable, full-time role with consistent hours
