Full Job Description
J Kelly Gardening and Landscaping Services Ltd, based in Wythall, Birmingham, has a well-established reputation for delivering and maintaining gardens of the highest standard, established over 30 years.
We have exciting hands-on, flexible full-time or part-time roles available, offering the opportunity to work on both domestic and commercial gardens.
Soft landscaping experience is essential — including good horticultural knowledge, a love and enthusiasm for plants and gardens, and a strong desire to learn and develop further in the role.
We would also like applicants to have some hard landscaping experience — so they can assist our hard landscaping team when required. A basic understanding of fencing, patios, driveways, or brickwork is desirable, and a willingness to learn more about hard landscaping tasks is important.
You must be able to communicate well and enjoy being part of a close-knit team, while also showing initiative. A full UK driving licence is essential, as there may be times when you’ll be covering maintenance runs independently with increased responsibility.
Hours to be agreed.
Seasonal-based, part-time and full-time hours available.
Please specify availability on your CV.
