Hbgtp 1 Year Traineeship

2 months ago


London, United Kingdom Webrecruit Full time

Are you a committed gardener, looking to take the next step into a career in horticulture? This is an incredible opportunity for an enthusiastic person to gain practical paid experience within a historic or botanic garden. The role will enable you as a trainee to experience a broad range of activities, helping to develop your practical skills and increase your horticultural knowledge

The Role

Established in 2006, the Historic and Botanic Garden Training Programme (HBGTP) is managed by English Heritage and offers 1-year traineeships at a range of outstanding placement gardens.

As an HBGTP trainee, you will work outside full-time in the garden, obtaining specialist on-the-tools training whilst immersing yourself in the heritage and beauty of one of Britain’s finest gardens.

In addition, during your placement, you will complete three written projects, keep a daily technical journal, and undertake regular plant identification tests.

By working alongside the gardening team through the seasons you will develop your practical skills and increase your technical knowledge. Full support and training will be given, allowing you to develop your love of horticulture into a blooming career

About You

**To be considered as an HBGTP trainee, you will need**:

- Previous practical experience (this can be paid or voluntary)
- Interest and commitment to work in the sector
- Ability that a placement could develop or enhance
- Self-motivation and ambition

Please note that qualifications are not a requirement for this post. However, some prior paid or voluntary experience in the horticulture sector is required. All placements are salaried positions.

**Benefits**:
As an HBGTP trainee, you will also benefit from a fully funded four-day Autumn Trainee Seminar and a three-day Summer Study Tour. Both provide the opportunity to visit some terrific gardens, attend expert guest lectures and network with other trainees.

Support

As a trainee, you will also benefit from being part of a cohort, enabling you to communicate, network and potentially visit other trainees in their gardens. All placement gardens contain experienced teams of three or more gardeners, who will guide you through the year helping broaden your skills and build your confidence.

Location

When applying, you will be asked to select your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of placement garden. Or for those who fancy an adventure, you can leave your choices open and select ‘any’

We would be delighted to hear from you. If you would like to talk to us about this role before you apply, e.g., regarding workplace adjustments or working patterns, please contact Elinor Davies, HBGTP Manager.
