We are seeking a dedicated and skilled Grounds Maintenance Operative to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining the aesthetic and functional aspects of our grounds, ensuring they are clean, safe, and well-presented. Key duties will include mowing lawns, trimming hedges, planting flowers, and maintaining flower beds.
