Job Description:

The Grounds Maintenance team

We're responsible for the cyclical upkeep of the communal areas to our customers. This covers a large geographical area and our customers include market rent, shared ownership, and independent living communities on many estates or the whole estate. We also provide a reactionary service where we deal with hazards such as dumped items or clearing snow on our independent living blocks.

We're responsible for the management of the trees, aiming to retain as many as possible or replant if any are removed. We believe that trees play a big part in our communities by providing shade in the summer, promoting healthy wellbeing, and offsetting our carbon footprint.

Your new role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Grounds Maintenance Operative to join our team based in Horndean. We're looking for a proactive team player with a good eye for detail who's ready for a new challenge.

Working within a team, you'll be responsible for the upkeep of the external communal areas, grass, shrubs, and hedges, with the flexibility to plan your workload within a fortnightly round. You may also be required to undertake soft landscaping or minor tree work.

We're looking for someone with a minimum of one year of experience. This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic, self-motivated, and driven individual looking to contribute to a dynamic and diverse team. We strive to improve ourselves and empower the lives of residents and communities.

Don't worry about transportation; we'll provide you with an Abri van.

What you'll need:

1. Practical amenity horticultural knowledge & experience
2. PA1 and PA6AW qualifications (desirable, but not essential)
3. NPTC certification or equivalent (desirable, but not essential)
4. A full driver’s license (with towing license desirable)

Interviews will be held via Microsoft Teams and/or at one of our offices. We’ll review and interview suitable candidates as they apply. If we receive enough applications, we'll close the advert early, so be sure to apply today to avoid missing out!
