Colchester, United Kingdom Horizon Landscapes East Anglia Ltd Full time

Due to a team restructure, we are seeking to recruit a Deputy Head Gardener to assist with our soft landscape maintenance teams which includes private houses, hotels, care homes, country estates and commercial premises all to a high standard.

You will be working under direct accountability to the Managing Director who acts as the Head Gardener for the maintenance division of the business.

Ideal formal qualifications to help the applicant achieve this position will include an NVQ level 3 in horticulture and/or an RHS level 2 and 3.

You will need to have a proven record of leadership skills as the role will involve the supervision of a team of gardeners, contractors and grounds maintenance operatives working alongside you.
