Description

Sole Gardener required

A rare opportunity has arisen for a Sole Gardener to join the garden and grounds of a beautiful private estate located near Altrincham, Greater Manchester.

The owner now requires a skilled gardener with additional handy person qualities to assist in the ongoing maintenance and development of the gardens and grounds.

Our client seeks a highly skilled Gardener to help maintain the gardens on a year-round basis.

Applicants should ideally possess an academic horticultural qualification, such as an RHS level 2 or equivalent, combined with several years' experience working in a similar role.

As such, excellent plant knowledge and technical skills are essential for this position with experience in propagation. General maintenance duties will include but are not limited to pruning, planting, weeding, mowing, strimming, and edging.

The owners are open to ideas the Gardener will have with regards to the improvement and development of the gardens.

A full, clean UK driving license, previous experience in the use and maintenance of a wide range of gardening machinery including PA1 and PA6 spraying, and chainsaw certification are desirable for this position; however, external contractors are to be used for larger works.

A van is provided on site should the Gardener need to run errands. The house is well equipped with machinery, which the gardener should be capable of maintaining between services.
