Landscape Gardening Team Leader

Red 5 People Ltd ,
London, Greater London
Job Type: Full-time
Salary: £24,000 per annum

Overview

This is not your normal landscape gardening role. This is for someone who is passionate about horticulture – and wants to teach other people so they can get a career within landscaping. You will be joining a regeneration charity. They help create better communities through the environment and horticulture. You will lead a team of 4 staff to deliver landscaping projects across Hammersmith & Fulham and Westminster. Your team will consist of one senior member of staff, and three trainees who are on a 6 month placement (so every 6 month you will receive a new trainee team). The charity win local authority and housing association tenders not just on the basis of their outstanding work. But how they support the community. Each local project they work on they recruit trainees who are unemployed and want to launch a career in horticulture. The trainees are paid staff, and want someone (you) to support and train them. To apply, you need to have a strong horticultural background. You must have supervisory experience. And you must have planned horticultural projects. Please apply via this advert. If you would rather talk to someone on the phone first before applying, please call the office and ask for James (number on the Red 5 People website).
