We’re looking for a reliable, practical person to join Woods Lawns during our busy autumn season, helping us improve and maintain customers’ lawns across Essex.

This is a temporary position, with the potential to return for a longer term or permanent role in 2027 as the business grows.

• Spreading topdressing and other lawn renovation work.
• Collecting and clearing lawn debris.
• Loading, unloading and looking after tools and equipment.
• Keeping customers’ gardens clean and tidy.

Who we’re looking for

You don’t need previous lawn care experience, we can teach you the work. We’re looking for someone who:

• Is punctual, dependable and willing to learn.
• Enjoys practical work outdoors in changeable weather.
• Is comfortable with physically demanding tasks, including lifting, carrying and raking.
• Takes care with equipment and respects customers’ properties.
• Works well in a small team and follows instructions.

Experience in gardening, landscaping or other practical work would be helpful, but isn’t essential.
