Reading, United Kingdom The Good Gardener Full time

I am growing my gardening business by subcontracting work I cannot do myself.

We do all garden jobs like hedge trimming, weeding, lawn mowing and pruning.

I need an experienced knowledgeable gardener to support the growing business. If you have any horticultural qualifications it would be a great help

Most of the work is in Reading, Newbury, Basingstoke and the surrounding area, so ideally you should live within this area.

I’m offering a totally flexible work schedule, but ideally you will have two or more days a week which i can fill. You would keep your existing clients; I would just be bringing you extra days work. I’ll take care of advertising, quotes, customer service, scheduling and billing. You would just take care of the gardening.

Just to be clear, I’m not looking to take on an employee, just trying to find a reliable subcontractor to help the business grow. You’d be responsible for all your equipment, transport, insurance and tax.

**Responsibilities**:

- Perform garden maintenance duties to ensure the cleanliness and aesthetic appeal of the garden area.
- Use hand tools and power tools to trim, prune, and shape trees, shrubs, and plants.
- Plant flowers, trees, and shrubs according to the garden design plan.
- Remove weeds, dead leaves, and debris from the garden area.
- Maintain garden equipment and report any issues or repairs needed.

Qualifications:

- You must have your own transport and tools (hedge cutter, lawn mower, strimmer)
- Knowledge of different plant species and their care requirements.
- Familiarity with hand tools and power tools used in gardening.
- Ability to work independently and follow instructions accurately.
- Physical stamina to perform tasks such as lifting heavy objects and working outdoors in various weather conditions.
- Excellent attention to detail and ability to maintain a clean and organized work area.

**Job Types**: Part-time, Freelance

Pay: £20.00 per hour

Additional pay:

- Performance bonus

Schedule:

- Flexitime
- Monday to Friday

Application question(s):

- You must have your own transport and power tools (i.e. strimmer, hedge cutter and lawn mower?) to do this job. Do you have your own transport and tools?

Work Location: In person
