Head Gardener - Live Out - EC3472
A wonderful opportunity has arisen for an experienced and enthusiastic Head Gardener. The impressive historic property encompasses approximately 23 acres, including a 3 acre garden, 4 acres of woodland and 16 acres of paddocks and is located on the outskirts of the market town of Newbury, West Berkshire.
The formal gardens have walls and hedges, containing many varieties of roses, herbaceous borders and extensive lawns with climbing roses on the garden walls and house. The garden has many different ‘rooms’ within it. The less formal garden is being developed to encourage wildlife, as are the woodland areas. These areas require attention to detail and the application of appropriate horticultural practices. There are many mature trees including an impressive lime avenue. Amenities include an En Tout Cas tennis court and a saltwater swimming pool (which needs treating once a week – training will be given). The paddocks are managed by a local farmer.
The new Head Gardener will be responsible for managing one other full-time gardener and one occasional pair of helping hands, as well as various contractors on site as necessary. Applicants should have experience in a similar hands-on management role within a private home, recognised academic horticultural qualifications, good horticultural skills and technical knowledge.

Applicants must hold chainsaw certification (CS30/31) with experience in ground-based tree work, i.e. removal of small trees, fallen branches and cutting firewood etc. Applicants must have a thorough and well-rounded experience with garden machinery; including the use of hedge cutters, strimmers, chainsaws, pedestrian and ride-on mowers. Knowledge of basic machinery maintenance would be beneficial.
The clients are looking for a positive, enthusiastic and helpful character. You must be willing to assist with typical estate duties such as wheelie bins/recycling, feeding the hens and general handyman duties are they arise. You must be physically fit, a non-smoker but most of all have a friendly and amenable disposition and genuine enthusiasm for your work. A full driving licence and your own transport is required due to the rural location of the property.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior or Head Gardener to take ownership of a fantastic historic garden, set in a beautiful part of the country for friendly and welcoming owners who continue to invest in the property and those who work on it.
