Groundsperson

Working across the estate, you will be involved in preparing and maintaining high-quality sports surfaces, assisting with cricket wicket preparation and seasonal renovations, marking out pitches, applying fertilisers and treatments, operating grounds machinery, and supporting the overall presentation of the College grounds.

You will ideally have experience in grounds maintenance, sports turf management or a similar environment, together with an NVQ Level 2 qualification in Sports Turf Maintenance (or equivalent). PA1, PA2 and PA6 certificates would be advantageous, as would experience operating machinery such as mowers and tractors.

Most importantly, you will take pride in your work, have a strong eye for detail, enjoy working as part of a team, and be willing to work outdoors in all weather conditions. A positive attitude and willingness to undertake further training are essential.
