About the Role
As a Gardener at a Barchester care home, you'll help create a stimulating environment that enables us to deliver quality, person‑centred care. By maintaining our grounds to the highest standards, you'll ensure we make a great first impression and that our outside areas can be fully enjoyed by residents looking for fresh air or a change of scenery. Your role involves looking after equipment and structures like fencing, keeping our grounds safe and tidy (including clearing any snow and ice in the winter), and planting a range of flowers, shrubs and trees. Once a year, you'll showcase your talents in our fiercely‑contested Barchester in Bloom competition.
About You
If you have a passion for the great outdoors, you could be perfect for the role of Gardener. A key priority will be ensuring your work fits around the needs of our residents, so a patient and empathetic approach is essential. In addition to general gardening experience, we require a good understanding of health and safety and the ability to use garden treatment chemicals in line with COSHH regulations. You should be trustworthy, professional, and a team player with a genuine interest in the lives and wellbeing of our residents.
