Your role, should you join us, will focus on all expected seasonal work across the tree stock, and the many iconic specimens and champion species across the campus and establishing young trees for the future.

A successful candidate will have a desire for high standards of presentation and be able to demonstrate this as part of the application and interview process. We are proud custodians to our 150 hectares of gardens and grounds, having just gained botanic garden status we are looking for somebody to join our small motivated and busy team to help us deliver the highest standards of arboriculture.
