Woodland / Horticultural Operative x2

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Woodland/Horticultural Operative to join our passionate and experienced team. This diverse role will see you involved in a variety of projects, from woodland and estate management to environmental restoration and outdoor craftsmanship. No two days are the same, and your work will make a tangible impact on the landscapes we help nurture. As this is a new area of the business, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the role, drive future projects, and establish best practices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist with woodland and estate management, including tree work, forestry, and vegetation management
• Take part in creating wildflower meadows, installing ponds, planting trees, and other landscaping activities
• Support the creation of bespoke woodland furniture and participate in woodland crafts
• Work outdoors in varying weather conditions, ensuring the highest standards of safety and environmental care
• Collaborate with the team while also being able to work independently
• Continuously learn and develop your skills in woodland management, horticulture, and conservation

What We’re Looking For:

We value passion for the environment just as much as experience. If you’re a hard worker with a love for the outdoors and a willingness to learn, we want to hear from you! Key attributes we’re looking for include:

• A strong work ethic, reliability, and attention to detail
• The ability to thrive in a team or work independently with minimal supervision
• Physical fitness and the stamina to handle the physical demands of the role
• A willingness to adapt to changing conditions and technologies
• A passion for learning and professional development

Desirable Experience & Qualifications (not essential):

While prior experience is an advantage, it’s not essential. We’re happy to support the right candidate in gaining relevant skills and certifications. However, the following would be beneficial:

• Understanding of Woodland Flora and Fauna
• Certification or training in arboriculture, forestry, or a related field
• Previous practical experience in agriculture, forestry, or horticulture
• Experience operating chainsaws or other tree care tools
• Knowledge of habitat management and sustainability practices
• Interest or experience in woodland crafts and environmental conservation
• Full UK driving license (preferred)

If you’re looking for a rewarding career that combines hands-on work with a genuine passion for the environment, we’d love to hear from you.
