In your role as a landscaping/grounds maintenance operative, you’ll carry out the grounds maintenance of our communal green spaces and help with the clearance of our empty homes and gardens. You’ll maintain the upkeep of all landscaped areas, ensuring pathways and hard standings are maintained and clear of debris. You’ll operate landscaping machinery, ride-on mowers, strimmers, hedge cutters and blowers.

This is a mobile role covering the Aylesbury (HP19) and surrounding areas and will therefore involve extensive travel, so you must live in a suitable location to cover this area of work.

You are expected to provide a high-quality service to residents, including consultation and liaison work with customers and colleagues. It's a physically demanding job. You’ll be working outside all year round, working in inclement weather conditions as well as exposure to cold/heat and noise. You must keep accurate records of your work, sharing best practice and ways of working to improve the service, learning from experience when things don’t go to plan.

**To be a landscaping/grounds maintenance operative with Bromford, you will**:

- Be experienced in grounds maintenance or landscaping
- Ideally, hold an NPTC qualification in brush cutter (strimmer), pedestrian mower, ride on mower, hedge cutter and PA1 and PA6 in spraying pesticides (not essential - training is available where required)
