Grounds Manager

Help us shape the future of our parks, open spaces and recreational facilities

We are looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Grounds Manager to join our Senior Management Team at an exciting time for the Council.

The Council is investing in and evolving its approach to the management of its land portfolio, green spaces and recreational facilities. We want to build on what we already have, take a more strategic and sustainable approach to our assets, and ensure our parks, open spaces, nature reserves, play areas and other community facilities continue to serve residents well for years to come.

This is an opportunity to play a leading role in that journey.

As Grounds Manager, you will have responsibility for the operational management, enhancement and sustainability of the Council’s parks, recreation grounds, nature reserves, amenity areas, play areas, closed churchyard and other Council-owned land and environmental assets.
