English Heritage cares for over 400 historic monuments, buildings and places. Through these, we bring the story of England to life for over 10 million visitors each year.

The gardens of Wrest Park are unique, with a range of surviving garden layouts dating back to the seventeenth century. English Heritage have undertaken an extensive programme of revitalisation, and have already restored key formal areas including the French and Italian parterres, rose garden, pear orchard and evergreen garden. Work will continue well into the future in the woodland gardens where rides and serpentine paths are being replanted and remodelled to restore the intimate nature of the garden compartments throughout the woodland. The whole garden contains numerous statues, lakes and other garden features.

Working alongside the Head Gardener, this Gardens Supervisor position will be responsible for all day to day works in the Upper Garden. The post holder will also work closely with the Great Garden and Trainee Manager to support and guide the trainees on site as they work through the Historic and Botanic Gardens Training Programme.

No matter what you do or where you do it, by joining us you’ll be playing a vital role in looking after some of the greatest places in England so that they can be enjoyed today and for generations to come. You’ll find it’s a workplace like no other – taking you behind the scenes of these extraordinary sites and supporting you to share your ideas, inspire others and make a difference.  

If you have a passion for working in historic gardens, are excited about sharing this with others, and developing others to do the same, then we’d love to hear from you. To find out more search for jobs on our website http://www.english-heritage.org.uk
