Head Gardener - Live Out - EC4216
A superb opportunity has arisen for an experienced Head Gardener who has excellent plant knowledge and wide-ranging horticultural skills to supervise a team of 2/3 gardeners in managing the garden and grounds of a Grade 2 listed country estate in South Warwickshire. The garden is approximately 10 acres in size and has a number of themes such as walled garden, orchard, open parkland, wild flower meadows and extensive water garden. The garden is open to the public for an annual NGS open day and other private events.
Applicants will need to demonstrate comprehensive hands on experience in a similar role managing a large private garden to the highest of standards. Therefore you will ideally have a horticultural qualification to minimum of RHS level 2 and ability to manage the grounds with minimal supervision. Your primary responsibility will be the upkeep of various different compartments of the garden with an emphasis on the greenhouse and borders.
The owners are keen gardeners and work alongside current staff and wish to maintain the happy working environment that exists in the garden. Applicants will therefore need to be able to work not only with the owners but also alongside the two other grounds staff as team work is paramount. Part of the role would also be working with the gardeners to share and teach new skills as they are both keen to learn and develop their knowledge.
Other key attributes for the role are enthusiasm, sense of humour and pride in your work.
Whilst the garden is well established there are a number of ongoing projects meaning that the appointed Head Gardener will need to be flexible in his or her approach to work and willing to adapt to regular change and variation in the garden work as it is regarded by the owner as a ‘Garden in Motion’.

Housekeeper & Gardener/Handyman Couple - Live In - EC4032

This opening would suit a couple with demonstrable experience in private estate maintenance and housekeeping respectively. A generous salary of £22,000 each is offered to candidates in addition a two bedroom cottage on site.
The impressive eight bedroom main house is framed by an NGS registered, former RHS garden of six acres. The 300 year old garden is currently managed by a full-time Skilled Gardener who will require assistance from time to time with basic gardening tasks such as mowing and hedge cutting. The remainder of the estate maintenance duties will consist of non-horticultural tasks, i.e. DIY/handyman jobs on and inside the property buildings, occasional chauffeuring etc. The full-time gardener welcomes enthusiasm and the desire to learn, so keen gardeners with well-rounded practical estate management skills are invited to apply.

A two bedroom cottage is provided, with rent, Council tax, water, electricity etc. covered by the employer. Bills such as phone and internet will be covered by the successful candidates. Couples with demonstrable experience in each of the above areas are encouraged to apply. Candidates with experience and training in trades, with good all-round DIY skills are particularly sought after. Likewise, housekeepers with experience on private estates and autonomous working will be most welcome. Applicants must have an excellent command of spoken and written English, a natural ability to get on well with other staff and visitors, and must be capable of working unsupervised and managing their own time.
A welcoming environment and stunning property, located in a very desirable part of rural Wiltshire, awaits the successful candidates. The estate owners are genuinely passionate about their property and staff, and look for equally committed employees to share the result of their combined efforts. A generous combined salary is offered, as stated below, with a cottage on site with its own separate entrance and driveway, courtyard garden and storage space.
