StokeonTrent, Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

As a Gardener for the National Trust, you'll be a hands-on member of the garden team, involved in every aspect of gardening at Biddulph Grange Garden. Responsible for day-to-day maintenance, and the highest standards of horticulture, you'll also play a vital role in improving the experience of visitors to the garden and wider estate.

You may be asked to work occasional weekends, bank holidays and evenings.

Reporting to the Head Gardener, you'll work alongside a team of 3 Gardeners as well as volunteers.

Biddulph Grange Garden is a Victorian garden created by Darwin contemporary James Bateman as an extension of his beliefs and scientific interests. His plant collection comes from all over the world - a visit takes you on a global journey from an Italian terrace to an Egyptian pyramid, via a Himalayan glen and Chinese-inspired garden.

Working at Biddulph Grange Garden is a physically demanding role with over 400 steps, narrow pathways and tunnels, most tasks will include lifting and carrying.

You'll be helping to keep the garden in tiptop condition every day. This might involve daily checks to make sure all areas are safe for people visiting, routine tasks such as weeding, pruning and mulching, and using machinery such as hedge cutters, leaf blowers, lawnmowers and tractors.

Other duties might include propagation, cutting flowers for the house, preparing plants for sale, tree safety work and garden design and restoration. You may be involved in recycling and managing waste, along with the rest of the garden team.

The role will also involve supporting other departments with events and programming, this can include setting up activities in the garden as well as engaging with visitors through demonstrations and talks.

We'd love to hear from you if you're:

an enthusiastic horticulturist and hands-on gardener, who's worked with hard landscaping before
knowledgeable about plants, with a great eye for detail.
experienced with machinery, including tractors, chainsaws, rotary and cylinder mowers, and with some knowledge of maintenance
a driver with a full licence
able to manage a demanding outdoor role
good at talking to, and getting on with, all kinds of people
equally confident working within a team, with volunteers or on your own
able to keep to time, plan and meet deadlines
