 About  you

You?ll  have  experience  in  soft  landscaping  and  grounds  maintenance,  holding  a  City  and  Guilds  Part  1  or  NVQ  Level  1  Landscaping  or  Horticultural  qualification  or  equivalent.    You?ll  have  a  good  understanding  of  health  and  safety  and  be  able  to  use,  service  and  maintain  gardening  machinery.

 You?ll  be  very  reliable,  comfortable  managing  your  own  time  and  comfortable  working  both  on  your  own  and  as  part  of  a  team.    You?ll  be  focussed  on  delivering  grounds  maintenance  and  gardening  to  a  high  standard  with  real  eye  for  detail  and  quality.  You?ll  be  working  with  a  hive  of  activity  going  on  around  you  and  you  will  be  working  within  our  customer  communities.
