Overview
The Greenspace team at Tameside Council looks after a wide range of countryside sites and urban parks throughout the Borough. We work closely with our Greenspace Volunteers, local community and partners to carry out a wide range of regular maintenance tasks and to deliver one off projects. It is a varied role where you could be working with volunteers carrying out woodland management in the countryside using a chainsaw one day and liaising with the Grounds Maintenance Supervisor around improvements to an urban park the next. Ideally you will have a strong background in countryside management and are a qualified chainsaw operative as many of the sites you will manage are woodlands in the Borough.
