- a range of cleansing duties such as emptying bins, litter picking and clearing leaves
- grass cutting
- hedge trimming
- weeding

You should have experience of working in a similar role, knowledge of the Health and Safety requirements applicable to this type of work and the ability to communicate positively with members of the public.
