Petersfield, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

We have an exciting opportunity at Uppark, for a Gardener to join our team. It’s a brilliant time to join us as we continue reinstating an historic path network around the garden, creating better accessibility for everyone to enjoy this beautiful garden throughout the year.

The site is open 7 days a week throughout the year, meaning some weekend working will be required.

**Interviews will be held on the 24th of November.**

What it's like to work here:Uppark was built c.1690, crowning the South Downs ridge in West Sussex, with spectacular views out to the Solent.

The interiors and gardens are predominantly associated with the Fetherstonhaugh family who bought the estate in 1747, though changes were made later to the approaches, gardens and interiors by renowned architect and landscape designer Humphry Repton. Today the gardens are presented in that same picturesque Repton style, including a scented garden west of the drive to evoke the designer’s belief in the importance of ‘olfactory joy’ in any garden. The main ‘amphitheatre’ garden, enclosed in knapped-flint walls, provides the required conditions for flowering shrubs, bulbs, annuals and perennial herbaceous plants.

For wildlife and nature conservation, the garden team sympathetically manages the gardens, meadow and woodland to encourage and conserve wildlife as part of the National Trust wildlife ambitions.

What you'll be doing:Reporting to our Senior Gardener, this is an ideal role for someone who has a passion for the horticultural world, but also how our landscapes were crafted from an historical perspective. You'll contribute to our work as we reinvigorate our planting schemes associated with the reinstated historic path.

Hardworking and enthused, you'll be knowledgeable about the varied plants within the garden. This role will include a range of practical horticultural tasks to develop, enhance and conserve the garden. You'll be helping with hard and soft landscaping and general maintenance of the garden, such as mulching, pruning, leaf clearing and weeding. You’ll support with the planting and maintenance of trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, helping to cut the hedges and mow our lawns.

You’ll be hands on, every day, working with our brilliant team of garden volunteers and helping to share your passion and enthusiasm for this beautiful site with our 70,000+ visitors each year.

You'll be standing in for the Senior Gardener at times which can mean that you may be the only garden staff present on the site at any one time and so you must be willing and able to work alone and supervise volunteers.

**Please also read the full role profile attached to this advert**

Who we're looking forTo be successful in this role you should be able to demonstrate the below:

- Trained as a professional gardener/horticulturalist with a good level of practical experience.
- RHS Level 2 or equivalent.
- Have proven practical gardening/horticulture experience, as well as a strong knowledge of plants
- Confidence to participate in garden activities and events
- Competence with machinery/equipment use and maintenance; including tractors, chainsaws, and pedestrian mowers with accreditation as required for Health and Safety compliance.

The packageThe National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
- Substantial pension scheme of up to 10% basic salary
