Horticultural Specialist

A talented gardener is required to join an established team and prestigious company, managing beautiful domestic and large estate gardens in Oxfordshire, on a permanent full-time basis. This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate gardener to take on a rewarding position with a respected company, where the focus on personal development is a key focus.  The company does not take on commercial contracts but aims solely to attract and retain horticulturally-focussed private gardens on a long-term basis.  As such, employees get to know each of their loyal clients as a result of being involved in the development and maintenance of their gardens through each season.

The company portfolio includes two large estate gardens, numerous manor house gardens and smaller private domestic properties, each of which require ongoing garden care to the highest standard. This successful business has flourished by listening to and understanding their clients’ wishes with respect to garden design, soft landscaping and year-round care via the adoption of current horticultural practices.

Applicants for the role will need to demonstrate a passion for horticulture combined with, ideally, an RHS level qualification or similar.  Suitable candidates will be presentable, positive in their outlook with a good sense of humour, excellent attention to detail and a strong desire to continually improve their knowledge and increase their skill set.  Applicants will preferably hold spray certificates (PA1/PA6), though this is not essential.  A full UK driving licence is essential, as is competence with a range of garden machinery.

There is always the opportunity for skilled and dedicated employees to climb the career ladder within the company, as hard work is always rewarded, and potential recognised.  The company has a policy of providing personal development plans and training programmes. A pension scheme, 22 days annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays are offered.  In addition, visits to specialist nurseries, horticultural shows and regular social events are provided with a view to continuing the development of the team and company.
