🌿 Gardeners of Bristol – We’re Hiring! 🌿
We’re looking for a skilled, experienced gardener to join our growing team.
You MUST have:
• Full UK driver’s licence (non-negotiable)
• Strong experience with two-stroke machinery – strimmers, hedge trimmers, blowers, etc. You’ll be using these alone and unsupervised, often for long periods
• Confidence handling heavy professional tools for extended tasks (e.g., hedge trimming for hours)
• Solid plant identification skills
• Excellent timekeeping – we cover 7–8 jobs per day
• Good knowledge of Bristol’s road network and surrounding areas
• Safe ladder use and ability to work at height
• Reliability, initiative, and a strong work ethic
• Comfort working in all weather, all year round
⭐ Additional Bonuses / Extra Skills
If you have one of the following specialities, that’s a big bonus:
• Lawn Care Specialist / Turf Technician (scarifying, aeration, treatments)
• Soft Landscaper / Hard Landscaper
• Tree Surgeon / Arborist
• Horticulturist
• Bricky or Stoneworker
• Welder or Fabricator (gates, frames, metalwork repairs)
• Ecologist / Conservation Worker
• Wildlife Habitat Specialist
• Permaculture or Sustainable Land Management knowledge
• Environmental Technician / Green Space Ranger
• Irrigation or Water-Management Technician
• Grounds Maintenance Operative with strong site experience
These skills aren’t required, but they bring huge value to the team and may open up higher-responsibility tasks.
🌱 The Role Involves:
• Maintaining private gardens, estates, commercial grounds & large hedges
• Moving between multiple sites each day
• Using professional machinery daily
• Working independently when needed
• Keeping standards high and jobs completed on time
• Representing Gardeners of Bristol with professionalism, friendliness, and integrity
⚠️ IMPORTANT:
Anyone can pick up a trimmer or mower…
But using these tools efficiently, safely, and professionally is a skill.
From day one, you’ll be trusted with real jobs that must be completed on schedule.
This position is only suitable for someone with genuine experience.
If you or someone you know fits the description, drop me a message. 🌿💪
