**Important notice**   

In line with our redeployment policy, we’ll prioritise applications from employees who are under formal notice of redundancy. 

As a Gardener for the National Trust, you’ll be a hands-on member of the garden team, involved in every aspect of gardening at Winkworth Arboretum. Responsible for day-to-day maintenance. You’ll also play a vital role in improving the experience of visitors to the Arboretum.

You will be required to work occasional weekends and bank holidays. 

What it's like to work here

Winkworth is the Trust's only Arboretum, working here is like nowhere else. It is a cross discipline position similar to a ranger/gardener/arborist with emphasis on working with machinery rather than tending to individual plants.

The work at Winkworth is cyclical on an annual basis. In the winter we focus on tree work and projects. Our two main visitor seasons are spring and autumn; for this we focus on presentation in the weeks leading up to high visitor numbers.

We have a hilly terrain and we work in all weathers so it can be physically demanding.

You may be required to lead and work with our small team of dedicated volunteers.

What you'll be doing

You'll be helping to keep Winkworth in excellent condition every day. This might involve daily checks to make sure all areas are safe for people visiting, routine tasks such as strimming, mowing, weeding, pruning and mulching, and using machinery such as strimmers, hedge cutters, leaf blowers, lawnmowers and tractors.  

You will assist with the day-to-day maintenance and development of the arboretum, taking delegated responsibility and assisting with all other areas of conservation and maintenance.

Reports to Senior Gardener. No direct budgetary responsibility but may have contract/small project responsibility. Line Management: No direct reports but may supervise volunteers in small teams.
