The University of Southampton is seeking a Soft Landscape/Gardener Supervisor.

If you're looking for an exciting new role in horticulture, then this is the job for you. Operating on various university campuses in Southampton and Winchester, we are looking for a forward-thinking, passionate horticulturalist with an eye for detail and quality in both their and the team's work. If you choose a career with us, you will be joining a friendly and supportive team, and you will have the opportunity to develop your skills and put your stamp on areas of the campus whilst working within the University's Bio-diversity policy. We strive to meet and exceed expectations to ensure the University and residences are attractive and well-managed.

**The role**

As the Landscape Service Supervisor, you will be responsible for the management of the onsite soft landscaping/gardening team and, alongside the Landscape Service Manager, be responsible for ensuring the grounds and projects are completed to the required standard. You must have an eye for detail, take pride in your work and take a proactive approach to ensuring Health and Safety on site, as well as liaising with key stakeholders, such as project managers and contractors working on site. Key responsibilities include visiting customer sites post-survey (usually with the project manager to scope the site), meeting with the customer pre-build, organising and managing subcontractors and managing and monitoring team performance and development needs.

**About you**

We are seeking an experienced horticulturalist who can work under their own initiative, with excellent time management, and lead a team of landscapers/gardeners. You will have an eye for detail, working from plans and taking pride in your work. You will have practical knowledge and skills in the use of horticultural maintenance machinery, such as ride-on mowers, hedge cutters, tractors and pedestrian mowers. You will thrive working outside in all weathers and always adopt safe working practices for both your team and any contractors. A full, clean valid driving licence is essential.

**What we can offer you**

Alongside a competitive salary, we support a flexible approach to work, as well as additional benefits that will make your life easier, such as a generous holiday allowance, access to a university pension scheme, training on new products and equipment, subsidised health and fitness facilities and a range of discounts. Furthermore, the University is a fantastic place to work - regardless of what life stage you are at, you will be a valued member of our team.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applicants who support our mission of inclusivity.
