A friendly, enthusiastic, and reliable Groundsperson is sought to maintain the gardens and grounds of a residential park home estate in a sole capacity on a permanent, full-time basis at near Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working outdoors and takes pride in maintaining attractive, well-presented grounds to a high standard.

Set within peaceful surroundings, the park features landscaped communal gardens, mature trees, ornamental shrubs, hedging, well-kept lawns, seasonal planting, and attractive park homes, all maintained to an exceptionally high standard. The grounds also include welcoming entrance features, pathways, communal spaces, and show homes, creating an attractive environment for residents and visitors alike.

As a Groundsperson, you will be responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and presentation of the grounds and gardens, ensuring that all areas are clean, tidy.

You may also be required to liaise with on-site contractors and supervise work where necessary to ensure projects are completed safely and efficiently.

Previous experience in horticulture, gardening, landscaping, grounds maintenance, estate maintenance, or a similar outdoor role would be advantageous.
