About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work - the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We'll be celebrating all this and more as the "rebel borough" when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey's people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About the role
To ensure the green elements of estates across the borough are well maintained in accordance with agreed standards, you will provide a visible frontline presence to members of the public on behalf of the Parks Greenspace Service. You will operate machinery such as lawn mowers, hedge cutters, blowers, and strimmers while meeting the agreed standards of maintenance.
About the team
To work within a zonal team consisting of a Team Leader, a Senior Operative, and several Gardeners and Assistant Gardeners from a depot within a Park, you will travel together with the team across a designated area to deliver the grounds maintenance service to Haringey Estates.
About you
You will be physically fit and hold a clean driving licence. You will be comfortable working outside all year round and have a keen interest in plants and a keen eye for detail. Your role will involve maintaining high standards in our green spaces, interacting with team members and the public, and staying updated on the latest horticultural practices. With excellent communication skills and a proactive approach, you will contribute to the success and enhancement of our green spaces.
