About The Service


Cardiff is one of the greenest cities in the United Kingdom and the Council recognises that the parks and open spaces play a significant role in the general well-being of the citizens of the city. We currently have sixteen parks and open spaces holding Green Flag status and historically have been successful in achieving gold medals in Britain in Bloom and Entente Florale, as well as attaining awards at RHS shows at Cardiff, Tatton and Chelsea. The service has also won an employer’s award from the Association of Public Service Excellence for the Parks traineeship scheme, the most recent being in 2022 when one of our trainees won APSE Apprentice of the Year.


About the job


You will join a small skilled team to learn and develop a wide range of horticultural operations. This will include the design, development, installation, machine operation, and maintenance of hard and soft landscape construction projects. You will learn to create and interpret plans from start to finish in Cardiff’s Parks and Open Spaces. This includes an in-house programme of practical training, supplemented by study towards a professional qualification in related operations.


What We Are Looking For From You


It is important that you can demonstrate a desire and passion to develop a career in outdoor spaces and have a commitment to complete a structured programme of training.
