Join Our Team as a Gardener
At Audley, first impressions matter. Our beautifully presented lawns and landscapes set the scene, and we are just as passionate about nurturing our people as we are about creating exceptional, award-winning gardens.
As our Gardener, you will be responsible for maintaining the landscapes, planting flower beds, and ensuring the general upkeep of the grounds. You will keep everything in excellent order to present a welcoming environment for our owners.
We develop villages with the wow factor that enhance the lives of our owners, their families, and friends. Through our brands, Mayfield Villages and Audley Villages, we offer stylish apartments and houses with top facilities, including bistros, bars, health clubs, and swimming pools. We provide exceptional service and support through dedicated care teams to help owners and community members remain independent. It’s retirement, but not as the UK has known it.
