About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to learn all aspects of general gardening duties within a ground’s maintenance environment. The work is carried out on council owned land including playing fields, cemeteries, highway verges, sheltered housing sites, and playgrounds.

Salary expectations, from £15,808 per annum in the first year of apprenticeship.

Key Responsibilities

  • You will be placed alongside experienced gardeners to enhance the grounds maintenance service and ensure that the work carried out is high quality and achieves contractual objectives.
  • You will learn and carry out general grounds maintenance and horticultural duties including grass cutting, hedge cutting, shrub pruning, flower bed maintenance, weeding, chemical application, and over-marking of sports areas. There will also be an opportunity to learn how to use the ride-on mowers/tractors subject to a full driving license.
  • You will be taught relevant health and safety guidelines and safe working practices and ensure that they are always observed, including the wearing of appropriate PPE.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
