In order to do this you must have proven experience of using ride-on mowers, strimming, planting and maintaining and pruning of communal gardens, you must also hold a current driving licence. As you will be in regular contact with the members of the public during the course of your work, it is essential that you can communicate effectively; particularly with elderly persons.
