Gardening jobs in Walmer

We are looking for an experienced landscape operative to join our employee owned business. Being owned by an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) means all employees have a stake and ‘voice’ within the business and after a preliminary period are entitled to share in the profits the business makes on a fair basis. This includes bonuses of up to £3,600 per year tax free.

We are a national award winning company, specialising in private garden design-and-build projects, predominantly in Kent.

The successful applicant will have:
*A full driving licence and own transport (to get to our yard at Chartham Hatch near Canterbury)

* Have a good range of landscaping skills. Particularly valued skills are working with natural stone and porcelain slabs, small unit paving (bricks, setts and edgings), working with timber (fencing and structures) and soft landscaping ( planting and turfing). Plant knowledge is a bonus (skills must be in a commercial/professional working environment - not your own garden).
*An aptitude for physical, sometimes strenuous work in the full range of weathers.
*A personable manner
*A desire to work within a small friendly team creating high quality landscapes.

* Some driving of a 3.5 tonne vehicle may be involved subject to eligibility.

Shortlisted applicants will be offered an informal telephone interview initially and a personal interview to follow for final shortlisted candidates.
