We are looking for a knowledgeable, qualified, experienced horticulturist to help our team grow, care for and maintain a historic botanical collection that includes the National Collection "The Plants Selected by Sir Frederick Stern". We are in the middle of an ambitious project to expand this collection and manage the site so that they exemplify the vision of Sir Frederick Stern in his book A Chalk Garden. Highdown Gardens is an 8 1⁄2 acre public garden, located around 1km from the West Sussex Coast and is on the south face of a chalk hill in the South Downs. Part of the garden is a former chalk quarry and it was no doubt the fascinating topography that led its founder to choose it as the site to build a broad collection of trees, shrubs, bulbs, alpines and other herbaceous specimens from around the world. Many of these plants were collected in the wild and some were among the first of their kind to be grown outside of their native environment. The garden was set up as a charitable trust by the gardens founders and Worthing Borough Council was made the sole trustee. Your role will be to form part of the team of four horticulturists that care for and maintain this prestigious collection. You will work with the Head Gardener and Curator, the Visitor Experience Manager as well as a large number of volunteers. You will be practical, skilful and knowledgeable, preferably with experience of working with alpines as well as the propagation of a broad number of plant types. We are looking for somebody with experience of working with a wide range of tools and machinery and an understanding of amenity horticulture. You will be open, friendly and helpful as every day will include numerous interactions with volunteers from a variety of backgrounds as well as the visiting public alike.

Department: Open Spaces
Location: Rochford District
Salary: Scale 4 £26,403 – £28,142
Hours: 37 hours per week, onsite

Our Culture and Values:
We like our staff to be proactive and innovative. Being customer focused and willing to maximise your potential at work are expected. We all work together to achieve the very best for our residents which sometimes means getting involved in projects and trying new tasks outside of your day to day job role. We love our staff to suggest new ideas and to have enthusiasm to try out new experiences.
The Job Role:
Rochford District Council is looking to appoint a positive, enthusiastic, and proactive individual to the exciting role of Neighbourhood Team Operative. This is a great opportunity to join our dedicated and hardworking Open Spaces Team. Being versatile and self-motivated is essential.
During your role, you will be striving to successfully execute grounds maintenance requests within our open spaces and on public highways with support from the Open Spaces Grounds Maintenance Team.
As a Neighbourhood Team Operative, you will be engaged in all aspects of Horticultural work including the use of tractors, heavy grass cutting machinery, tree, shrub and bedding planting, hedge cutting, renovation of sports pitches as well as assisting in the day to day challenges of grounds maintenance. It is essential for the successful candidate to undertake Health and Safety checks and Risk Assessments, and to be able to professionally communicate with people of all levels, from co-workers and contractors to residents.
It is also essential for a successful candidate to be able to undertake physical and demanding work in all weathers, of all seasons. Work within the Open Spaces Team can be challenging, however; this is outweighed by the sense of pride and the self-rewarding nature of working as a part of a team within the horticultural industry.
As a local authority, Customer Focus is very important to us and we would expect any successful candidate to act in the upmost professional of manner.
