We are currently looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Grounds Person to join our friendly garden team.

Both teams work harmoniously on all projects and events supporting each other in all that we do. Rule one for us is that our grounds should look unstructured, informal and not over-designed.

You will be responsible to cover all tasks assigned by the Head Grounds Person ensuring that the grounds of the hotel are well presented.
As our gardens and grounds are open to our guests, you must be confident to interact with them daily. We also are home to pigs, chickens and quails, so some animal husbandry will be required.
Experience in a similar role, plus PA1 & PA6 usage and maintenance of garden machinery such as petrol strimmer's and mowers is preferred but not essential.
We are dedicated to making THE PIGs an inspiring, exciting, and fun place to work and in return for your hard work you can expect something a little different:
- Numerous retail discounts via our Perkbox Scheme.
- Discounted room rates and complimentary staff stays across our group.
- Discounted food, beverage, and spa days across our group.
