Overview
The Grounds and Gardens team is instrumental within the Health Board in ensuring that the grounds and gardens across our sites are maintained to a high standard. The Grounds and Gardens department is split into three teams across the 3 regions with one team operating from each regional base and supporting the operational delivery of Grounds and Gardens services across the Health Board. The team contributes to the Facilities and Health Board plan in delivering site environmental goals and objectives and supporting continuous improvement in site aesthetic and biodiversity standards and performance. Ensure the service meets the required health and care standard and quality, provides value for money and effective service delivery.
The post holder will regularly cut and maintain specific scheduled task lawn areas across the sites that are not maintained by the contracted service, working with external contractors where necessary. You will be required to trim and prune flowers, trees (including ivy growing up) and shrubs in accordance with good gardening practice and to prevent foliage overhanging pathways, roadways, drainage gullies and manholes, etc. The post holder will undertake seasonal on-call duties supporting site gritting and snow clearance outside normal working hours and at all sites as requested to support the service provided by the external adverse weather contractor. Use of equipment and machinery will support these duties.
