Borders Task Busters

We're looking for a Young, Hardworking Outdoor Operative 🌿

Borders Task Busters are looking for somebody to join the team on a self-employed basis for approximately 4–5 days per week.

Initially, we're looking for cover over the next 8 weeks while one of our team members is away. However, for the right person, there is a strong possibility of ongoing work through to the end of the season (November) and potentially further opportunities beyond that.

This role would be ideal for:

🌱 A school or college leaver
🌱 Someone studying horticulture, landscaping, gardening, or grounds maintenance
🌱 Someone looking to start their own gardening or landscaping business in the future
🌱 A newly self-employed gardener looking to gain experience and build a portfolio
🌱 Someone who enjoys being outdoors and doesn't want to spend their life behind a desk

The work includes:

✔ Garden recoveries
✔ Overgrowth clearances
✔ Garden maintenance
✔ Hedge reductions
✔ Grounds maintenance
✔ Fence repairs & installations
✔ Jet washing
✔ General outdoor property maintenance

This isn't a role for someone who wants to stand around looking at their phone all day.

The work can be physically demanding at times, but it's also incredibly rewarding. There's something satisfying about turning an overgrown mess into a tidy, usable outdoor space and being able to look back at the end of the day and see exactly what you've achieved.

We're looking for somebody who:

✔ Is reliable and turns up when they say they will
✔ Has a positive attitude
✔ Takes pride in their work
✔ Enjoys working outdoors
✔ Can work as part of a team
✔ Is willing to learn and develop new skills

A driving licence would be a huge advantage.

If you don't drive, you would need to be based in or around Innerleithen / Walkerburn, or be able to reliably get to Walkerburn each working morning.

Experience is useful, but attitude and work ethic are far more important to us.

If you're interested, send me a message with:

• Your name
• Age
• Where you're based
• Driving status
• Any relevant experience
• A little bit about yourself

Please feel free to share. 💚
