GARDENERS REQUIRED

Private residence–West Berkshire.

£25,000 - £30,000 (dependent on experience), within PGG guidelines.

We have two gardening vacancies available on a beautiful, private estate in Berkshire.

The estate comprises formal gardens and a woodland area. There is an abundance of hedging and topiary and everything is meticulously maintained to a high standard. The successful candidates will possess a keen eye for detail which will enable us to keep to the standards that are required. Duties will include pruning, hedge trimming, strimming, grass edging, feeding, weeding and planting. Flexibility is required for this role as the spraying and watering programme is carried out on a rota basis between three members of staff and will require some earlier starts and a few hours of weekend work, which will be given back as time in lieu. The estate is a secondary home and can be very busy during the Spring/Summer when the family are in residence and so flexibility during this time is also very helpful.

The successful candidates will work with the Head Gardener to continue to maintain the garden and further improve it. It is very important that you are able to work alongside our existing team. We are a friendly and hard-working team and these traits will be essential requirements from our new members of staff.

RHS qualifications are desirable but not essential since an in-depth practical knowledge is much more important. PA1/PA6 certificates would be advantageous as would a Chainsaw certificate. A driving licence will also be essential for this role. You will be required to complete a satisfactory DBS check. Smoking is strictly prohibited on the estate.

The weekly hours are 8.00 am to 4.30 pm, with half an hour lunch break, Monday to Friday. The company will provide a generous pension scheme, 20 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), an annual bonus and uniform.
