Full job description

We’re looking for a motivated and hands-on Estates Operative to join our team here at Lime Tree Village and help maintain the buildings, fixtures, equipment and outdoor spaces across our village. This role is a key part of ensuring our community remains safe, attractive and welcoming for residents, visitors and colleagues. This is a permanent role working 37.5 hours per week.

This is a varied position where no two days are the same - from keeping our grounds looking their best, to supporting repairs, inspections, safety checks and general maintenance across the village.

If you enjoy practical, outdoor work, take pride in a job well done, and want to be part of a friendly and supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Maintain village buildings, fixtures, fittings and equipment, following planned maintenance schedules.
  • Support repairs and report any faults promptly to management.
  • Carry out regular safety and alarm-system checks.
  • Maintain grounds, including mowing, hedge trimming, planting, pruning, weeding and watering.
  • Monitor plant health and treat pests/diseases in line with environmental guidelines.
  • Keep paths, roadways and walkways safe, including clearing snow and ice in winter.
  • Safely operate and maintain tools, machinery and chemical supplies.
  • Conduct weekly and monthly compliance checks.
  • Respond to emergency calls when trained, including first aid.
  • Work collaboratively with the facilities team to deliver consistently high standards across the village.

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–3 years’ experience in gardening, landscaping, maintenance or a similar practical role.
  • Good practical skills and confidence using maintenance and grounds equipment.
  • Strong awareness of health & safety (COSHH experience beneficial).
  • A customer-focused approach, with the ability to interact positively with residents.
  • Someone reliable, proactive and able to prioritise tasks effectively.
  • Physical stamina to carry out manual and outdoor work in all seasons.

Our Values

We’re proud of our culture and the values that shape it:
Age Well | Community | Keep Improving | Invest Wisely | Planet Positive | One Team

You’ll be joining a workplace where people support each other, take pride in their work, and make a real difference to residents’ quality of life.

Why Join Us?

  • A supportive team environment
  • Opportunities for development and training
  • A role where you can see the impact of your work every day
