- Previous grounds maintenance, landscaping or horticultural experience
- Safe and confident use of grounds machinery, tools and equipment
- A practical, reliable approach and the ability to work on your own initiative
- An understanding of health and safety in an outdoor working environment
Desirable (but not essential):
- A relevant horticulture or groundcare qualification
- Experience of working on a large site or in an education setting
- A full UK driving licence
If you take pride in well-kept outdoor spaces and enjoy practical, hands-on work, we'd love to hear from you.
