A lovely family are looking for a friendly, experienced, and proactive Gardener/Houseman to join them on their beautiful estate in Surrey. The successful candidate must also be a confident driver with a clean licence.
You will be required to work Thursday to Monday working up to 45 hours per week. There will occasionally be longer days over the weekend, but you can manage your own time and work less during the week in these circumstances.
This is a relaxed, yet semi-formal household, that requires a switched-on individual who is not a delegator and can manage their own time efficiently. You must love dogs.
Gardener/Driver Duties:
- Managing/working with the current gardener
- Gardening for the extensive grounds, including use of ride on lawnmower and other garden machinery (experience with this required)
- Care of courtyards and surrounding areas to the main house
- Interior and exterior maintenance
- DIY
- Chauffeuring duties, as and when required
- Occasional pet sitting
- Security of the property
- Liaising with and reporting to the client and their PA
The candidate will be given a self-contained 2-bedroom cottage (including garage) on the estate and will be required to work Thursday to Monday with Tuesdays and Wednesdays off each week. Weekend work is mandatory.
The ideal candidate will be kind, happy to lend a hand whenever is needed as well as become an extension to the family. Experience with garden machinery and vehicles is essential, and chainsaw/spraying licenses are preferred.
