Job Details

A great opportunity has arisen for a Garden Maintenance Team Leader to join an established company located to the west of Etchingham, Sussex.  The company has been in business for over 30 years - a testament to their continued provision of quality service in the gardening and landscape construction industry.

The company now requires a Garden Maintenance Team Leader to work alongside and supervise two existing maintenance gardeners. The ideal candidate will hold a recognised horticultural qualification and/or considerable experience, have good horticultural knowledge and plant identification skills, experience with a range of grounds maintenance machinery and equipment and will be used to working within a team and on their own initiative. 

The role will predominantly involve supervising two assistant gardeners and tending to numerous, primarily domestic gardens on a scheduled, rotational basis.  The role will include the maintenance and ongoing development of a 5-acre Sussex garden, designed by Jo Gibbons.  A driving licence is essential as you will be sharing the driving duties each day.  You will be required to assist with various one-off projects on a full-time basis during the winter months, which will ensure your continued year-round employment.

Applicants will need to be competent with a range of garden machinery (and basic maintenance thereof) as you will be expected to undertake duties including hedge cutting, lawn maintenance, pruning, planting, bed/border maintenance, and be willing to carry out a range of other gardening tasks as they arise.  Competence with back-pack sprayers and a spray ticket (PA1/PA6) is desired.

Applicants must be conscientious and well presented as interaction with property owners on site will be necessary.  Candidates will be diplomatic and have a positive in approach to the management of gardeners in training, be flexible in their approach to work, physically fit and have a ‘can-do’ attitude.  Uniforms are provided.  A full UK driving licence is essential, as is your own car for travel to and from the rural yard.  The business shuts down between Christmas and New Year.
