Do you have a passion for working outdoors and take pride in maintaining public greenspaces in the community? If so, we have the perfect role for you!
We are looking for an enthusiastic Gardener to join our Whangamatā team for a fixed-term maternity cover role. This position starts immediately working through for 6 months, with the potential for an extension.
About the role
Reporting to the Team Manager and working closely with other team members, you will be responsible for general garden maintenance across multiple sites around Whangamatā, Pauanui and Tairua. Your duties will include planting, weeding, pruning, and vegetation control, as well as maintaining bedding displays, hanging baskets, roses, borders, and shrubbery. You will ensure all tasks are completed to the highest standards, maintaining a well-planned and timely schedule while prioritising the safety of the public, your team, and yourself.
Who we are looking for
Ideally, we would love someone who has practical experience in gardening/horticulture, however, this is not a must. As long as you have an awesome work ethic, with a passion for working outdoors and getting stuck in then you would be a perfect candidate. Other success factors also include:

A current, full driver’s licence with the ability to drive a manual
A willingness to accept responsibility and ownership of jobs whilst working as part of a wider team - helping out your teammates needs to be second nature
Have knowledge of health and safety practices relevant to the job
Excellent relationship building and communication skills
Tons of motivation with a strong desire to get the job done
