With support from a Senior Grounds Maintenance Operative employed at Bingham for the past six years, you’ll be overseeing a one-mile radius inclusive of over 10,000 residents, five play areas, parks, allotments, a cemetery, and sports pitches.

Far from being pigeon-holed within a large team, your work will span grounds maintenance, graves and funerals, park checks, tree maintenance, allotments, flower beds, litter picking, risk assessments, health and safety checks, and Summer and Christmas LightsSwitch-on events.
