The Team

We are the Parks and Greenspaces Team and it’s our job to maintain the parks and recreation fields, crematoria, and green and urban spaces around homes across the district.

Our Gardeners are the public face of the team in the community so we’re looking for helpful, positive and friendly people to join us in our work to keep Kirklees clean, safe and accessible for all members of our community.

The Role; Assistant Gardener

Duties will include:

  • a range of cleansing duties such as emptying bins, litter picking and clearing leaves
  • grass cutting
  • hedge trimming
  • weeding

You should have experience of working in a similar role, knowledge of the Health and Safety requirements applicable to this type of work and the ability to communicate positively with members of the public.

You will be contracted to work on any 5 days out of 7 days (Monday to Sunday).
