Gardener | RAF Lakenheath

We're looking for a dedicated Gardener to join our friendly team maintaining the gardens and outdoor areas of Military Family Housing across RAF Lakenheath, RAF Feltwell and RAF Mildenhall.

If you enjoy working outside, have an eye for detail and take pride in creating and maintaining attractive outdoor spaces, we'd love to hear from you.

As part of our growing team, you'll play an important role in helping military families feel at home by ensuring their gardens and outdoor areas are maintained to a high standard throughout the year.

About The Role

As a Gardener, you'll be responsible for maintaining gardens and landscaped areas across Military Family Housing. Your day-to-day duties will include grass cutting, lawn care, weed control, leaf clearance, topping up pea shingle and carrying out general garden maintenance to ensure outdoor spaces remain tidy, safe and welcoming.

You'll use a range of hand tools and light horticultural machinery, clear litter and garden waste, manage basic stock levels and work safely in line with health and safety procedures. You'll also contribute to delivering excellent customer service while supporting VIVO's values and commitment to continuous improvement.

We're looking for someone who enjoys working outdoors, has a positive attitude and takes real pride in the quality of their work. Previous experience in gardening, grounds maintenance or landscaping is desirable, along with experience using horticultural machinery and powered hand tools. Knowledge of gardening techniques and seasonal maintenance would be an advantage.

You'll have good communication skills, enjoy working as part of a team and have a strong understanding of safe working practices. A full UK driving licence is essential, as you'll be travelling between RAF Lakenheath, RAF Feltwell and RAF Mildenhall. A high school diploma or equivalent is desirable.

VIVO provides facilities management and accommodation maintenance for the UK military and its partners. VIVO embodies both experience and innovation.

What we do

We put our Customers and Families First. They are the driving force behind everything we do. We drive forward improvements for them to ensure the service they receive, whether reactive repairs or a major project, is completed safely and on time. In order to achieve this, we have 4 core values: open, caring, agile and collaborative. These are at the heart of everything we do.

Joining VIVO means becoming part of a team that delivers services which make a real difference to the lives of military families. This is a permanent, full-time position offering a varied outdoor role where no two days are the same. As our business continues to grow, you'll have opportunities to develop your skills and build your career within an organisation that values teamwork, integrity, respect and innovation.
