  • PA1 & PA6a Pesticide Application.
  • Understanding of fine turf and sports pitch maintenance.

What you’ll get in return:

  • The opportunity to work outdoors in a role that directly contributes to the appearance and enjoyment of Wyre’s green spaces.
  • Training and development opportunities, including grounds maintenance skills and equipment use.
  • A competitive salary with employer pension contributions.
  • 24 days annual leave rising to 29 days depending on length of service, plus bank holidays.
