About the team


You will be joining a dynamic, ambitious, and experienced Open Spaces Team that actively engages with stakeholders and residents, to ensure that our Housing, car parks open spaces, and cemetery grounds continue to meet the needs of the local community.


The Open Spaces Team is very supportive and works closely with service-related contractors, community groups and volunteer groups, to identify necessary improvements and ensure that our communal areas are safe and welcoming for all.

You will oversee and ensure that all graves are prepared correctly, in compliance with Health and Safety Legislation, Burial Law (the Local Authorities Cemeteries Order 1977), and the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM) Code of Safe Working Practice in Cemeteries.

That Horticultural standards are kept high in accordance with good health & Safety practice, and all areas left in a pleasing/pleasant condition.
