Estate Gardener
Berkshire
26,000 - 27,000 DOE
An
exciting opportunity has arisen to join a prestigious team as an
Estate Gardener for a renowned 70-acre estate in Berkshire. This
estate boasts stunning formal gardens, parklands, waterways,
woodlands, and leisure facilities, serving a prominent private
client.
While possessing qualifications in horticulture is
preferred, it's not obligatory as the role offers on-the-job training
in horticultural practices. The ideal candidate will have substantial
experience in high-quality gardening, with a preference for prior work
in private estate teams.
Responsibilities encompass various
tasks including general horticulture, lawn care, chemical applications
(requiring certification), seasonal maintenance, and the maintenance
of garden features. Additionally, duties involve overseeing the
artificial tennis court and managing waterways and the irrigation
system, with machinery operation training provided.
Beyond
horticultural expertise, the desired candidate should exhibit
cooperation, enthusiasm, and adeptness in teamwork. They should be
adept at following direction while also capable of working
independently and taking initiative as necessary. Strong attention to
detail, effective time-management skills, and the ability to perform
under pressure are vital. Integrity, discretion, and a commitment to
personal development are also highly valued attributes in potential
candidates.
