About the role

Location: THE PIG - at Harlyn Bay, Padstow, Cornwall.

OTE £30,293 PA including tronc.

Hours: 40 Hours Per Week

We are currently looking for an experienced Head Grounds Person to join our friendly garden team.

Our garden team is made up of two parts; the kitchen garden team who are solely responsible for the productive garden spaces, whereas the grounds teams look after the lawns, trees, and maintenance of any formal borders. Both teams work harmoniously on all projects and events supporting each other in all that we do. Rule one for us is that our grounds should look unstructured, informal and not over-designed.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to lead our unique and dynamic team in overseeing the functionality of the hotel grounds.

As our Gardens and Grounds are open to our guests, you must be confident to interact with them daily. We also are home to Pigs, Chickens and Quail so some animal husbandry will be required.

Experience in a similar role, plus PA1 & PA6 usage and maintenance of garden machinery such as petrol strimmer’s and mowers is essential. Any background in supervising or managing a small team is beneficial.

We are dedicated to making THE PIGs an inspiring, exciting, and fun place to work and in return for your hard work you can expect something a little different:

Numerous retail discounts via our Perkbox Scheme.
Discounted room rates and complimentary staff stays across our group.
Discounted food, beverage, and spa days across our group.
28 days holiday rising by 1 day each year for the first 5 years.
We are committed to providing craft and accredited training to all staff.
Meals on duty

We are proud to have grown our group throughout the recent difficulties faced within our industry. With new openings upon the horizon, it’s a wonderful time to join us for a sustainable future.

Robin Hutson: ‘As with all good hospitality, THE PIG is fundamentally about people; it’s the personalities, passion, knowledge, and skills of the people we work with that somehow converge to creating THE PIG experience’.
