Full job description

We need a skilled, passionate Gardener with strong plant and gardening knowledge to join our friendly team in the Oxford area. Ideally to start October/November

Our Company

Hadingham Kirk was founded over 10 years ago by Simon Hadingham and Mike Kirk with all our work coming from recommendation. We have a highly skilled team working in and around Oxford in all areas of gardening, including design, landscaping, carpentry, and garden maintenance. We take great care and pride in our work and cherish the long lasting relationships we build with our clients and our teams.

Our Team

The maintenance team, made up of 8 gardeners including a team leader, mostly tend to gardens designed by Hadingham Kirk, as well as several established gardens in the Oxford area. The team leader looks after the scheduling so the team spend most of their time doing what they do best. We look after approximately 50 gardens with each gardener getting the chance to manage their favourites.

The gardens range from smaller inner city back gardens to large country estates with garden styles varying from: contemporary, wildlife friendly, formal, cottage, kitchen, meadow, riverside, and sweeping country landscapes. Our aim is to bring out the best in these gardens, so they flourish and delight throughout the seasons. It is truly a lovely and rewarding career!

Our work days are usually split into two halves, visiting one garden in the morning and one in the afternoon. The gardens are revisited weekly or fortnightly so you can have a nice rhythm to the days whilst retaining variety.

The work is split between working solo and in teams of two.
