About the Estates Maintenance Operative role

This is a full-time position, working 37 hours per week. Experienced in all aspects of grounds maintenance, you will hold a clean current driving licence and be capable of using industrial machinery safely.

As an Investor in People Platinum organisation, you will be joining a company that creates a supportive high-performance culture.
You can also expect to enjoy an excellent benefits package, including:
- 25 days' annual leave + bank holidays
- Generous employer contributions towards your pension (including death in service), any employee who increases their contribution to 5% or above will receive an employer contribution of one and a half times their contribution up to a maximum employer contribution of 15%

- Flexible Agile Working
- Salary Sacrifice Scheme (optional)
- Reimbursement of the cost of a professional membership fee
- Employer contributions towards gym membership
- Employer contribution every two years towards eye examination for those who use computers significantly as part of their work
