Other small mechanical equipment such as rotavators, breakers, ride on rollers will be used throughout the apprenticeship. As you progress you will get exposure to use of diggers and dumpers hopefully progressing to a formal certification.

Health and safety is really important and you will develop a good insight into both the theory at Sparsholt and in practice on the ground.

As an environmental service the environment is really important to us and you will gain an insight into control measures on how we work to protect and enhance.

Given the range of works we undertake a basic understanding of DIY or gardening would be advantageous. Enthusiasm and the drive to learn and progress is paramount. A strong desire to learn about horticulture and want to be in the industry is essential.

A full, clean driving licence is required for this role.
D (4) or above maths & English.

Apprentices without Level 2 English and maths must achieve Level 1 and take the test for Level 2 before taking the end-point assessment.
