The Trust provides homes and services across Cheshire and is a Times Top 100 company to work for. We have over 6000 properties and a variety of external open spaces. We are looking for a supervisor on a permanent basis to work within the Open space and environmental services team. Our team is responsible for maintaining both the Trusts open spaces and internal communal areas as well as delivering a planned external works program within customer gardens.

We are looking for someone who loves working outdoors, is passionate about delivering an excellent grounds maintenance service and will help shape and develop our open space service for the future. With the ability to build strong and effective relationships, you will be responsible for supervising both our in-house team and external contractors and will have demonstrable experience in both. You will be responsible for the safe and timely delivery of both planned and cyclical grounds maintenance work ensuring that we are providing a quality service to our customers whilst ensuring value for money.

You will have strong horticultural and plant knowledge with an interest in improving both the amenity value and biodiversity within open space areas as well as an innovative approach to dealing with other environmental issues such as litter and fly tipping.

You will work flexibly from site, home and the office and will have the autonomy to manage your own workload. You will proactively find solutions to resolve customer queries and complaints regarding the grounds maintenance service and take our customers views into account to develop our procedures.
