If you enjoy working in a customer-focussed environment, can work under your own initiative or as part of a team and are looking for a secure, challenging, and worthwhile job we may have the position you are looking for.
The position is manually challenging but equally rewarding for enthusiastic and hardworking team players. The ideal candidate will have a range of relevant qualifications and/or experience of grounds maintenance. This role will involve cutting grass on verges and open spaces, shrub and hedge maintenance as the main focus. But there will be opportunities to support other teams in other grounds maintenance tasks which may include playgrounds, cemeteries and sports areas. Experience of working outdoors in all weathers and dealing with the public are essential. Knowledge of the Test Valley area would be an advantage but not essential.
To be suitable for the post of Grounds Maintenance Operative it is essential that you have an appropriate driving licence, with entitlement to drive vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, and tow a trailer over 750kg.
In return we offer a great place to work with a competitive salary, up to 32 days annual leave (dependent on local government service), a uniform/PPE and the opportunity to join the Local Government Pension Scheme. Full details of all benefits offered can be found on our website Employee Benefits | Test Valley Borough Council .
