Groundskeeper, Parks

Seasonal maintenance across five public parks. Equipment provided.

An opportunity has come up for a Groundskeeper, Parks based in Exeter. You would be joining a settled team that has grown steadily, and taking on work that matters to the people we serve — with the time and support to do it properly.

About the role

• Maintain grounds, planting and play areas across the site through the seasons.
• Operate and look after machinery safely, with training provided for anything you have not used.
• Carry out inspections and log what needs repair before it becomes a hazard.
• Support events and seasonal work, which occasionally means a weekend.
• Deal with the public courteously — you are the most visible person on site.

What we are looking for

• Practical grounds or maintenance experience, and a full driving licence.
• Clear communication with colleagues, and with customers where the role involves them.
• The judgement to work unsupervised, and the sense to ask when something is not clear.
• A careful approach to safety and to your own standard of work.
• Willingness to learn the parts of this you have not done before.

What we offer

• 28 days holiday including bank holidays, rising with service.
• Company pension, and life cover after your first year.
• A rota published well in advance, so you can plan around it.
• Staff discount, a cycle-to-work scheme and an employee assistance line.
• Genuine progression — most of our supervisors started in this role.
