Job Brief – Estate Groundskeeper / Grounds & Woodland Manager

Sandford Hall Estate, Claverley, Shropshire
Full-time, permanent

The role

We are looking for an experienced, practical and highly capable Estate Groundskeeper to take responsibility for the day-to-day management and gradual restoration of the grounds at Sandford Hall, a substantial private country estate near Claverley, Shropshire.

The estate extends to approximately 40 acres and includes formal and informal gardens, lawns, mature woodland, fields and paddocks, streams and watercourses, hedgerows, tracks, boundaries and areas of established landscape.

Sandford Hall and its grounds were once a significant and beautifully maintained country estate. Over many years the gardens and wider landscape have received limited attention, and we are now looking for the right person to gradually bring the estate back to life.

This is not simply a grass-cutting or routine gardening position. We are looking for someone who can look at an established but neglected landscape, understand what needs doing, establish priorities and progressively improve it.

The successful candidate will be trusted to organise much of their own working week and will therefore need to be comfortable working independently, taking responsibility and seeing jobs through from beginning to end.

Responsibilities

The role will encompass virtually every aspect of managing a 40-acre rural estate, including:

General estate and grounds maintenance throughout the year
Restoration and ongoing maintenance of established gardens and landscaped areas
Lawn care, mowing, edging, scarifying, seeding and general turf improvement
Hedge cutting, pruning and management of established hedgerows
Tree and woodland management, including clearing fallen timber, brash and invasive growth
Woodland thinning and maintenance where appropriate
Planting and establishing new trees, shrubs and hedging
Maintaining fields, paddocks and rough grassland
Brush cutting, strimming and vegetation clearance
Maintaining streams, ditches, culverts and watercourses
Drainage and ditch clearance
Maintaining estate tracks, paths and access routes
Fencing, gates and boundary maintenance
Basic landscaping and groundworks
Maintaining planted beds and controlling weeds
Leaf clearance and seasonal estate work
Composting, green-waste management and responsible disposal/burning where permitted
Identifying damaged, diseased or dangerous trees and arranging specialist assistance where necessary
Helping manage wildlife habitats and the ecological health of the estate
Keeping machinery, workshops and equipment organised and properly maintained
Identifying jobs that require external contractors and helping coordinate their work

Machinery & practical skills

A key requirement is confidence and competence operating a broad range of estate, horticultural, agricultural and landscaping equipment.

Depending upon experience and qualifications, this could include:

Ride-on and commercial mowers
Compact tractors and associated implements
Flail mowers/topper
Front loader
Trailers
Woodchippers
Log splitters
Chainsaws
Hedge cutters
Strimmers and brush cutters
Leaf blowers
Rotavators
Mini excavator/digger
Telehandler or similar equipment
Pressure washers and pumps
General hand and power tools

Formal tickets for relevant machinery, chainsaw use, spraying etc. would be advantageous. However, practical experience, competence and a strong attitude towards safe working are equally important.

The person we are looking for

The right person will ideally have previously worked on a private estate, country house, farm, large garden, parkland or similar rural property.

More important than a particular job title is having a genuinely broad range of practical skills.

We are looking for someone who:

Is experienced in managing substantial grounds rather than simply domestic gardens
Understands gardens, trees, woodland and rural land management
Is mechanically minded and confident with machinery
Can carry out basic repairs and practical estate jobs
Is physically capable and genuinely enjoys outdoor work
Is comfortable working alone for significant periods
Does not need to be continually supervised or given a daily task list
Can identify problems and find sensible solutions
Takes pride in completing work properly
Understands that restoring an estate is a long-term process
Can prioritise jobs according to season, urgency and available resources
Is reliable, trustworthy and respectful of a private family property
Has a full UK driving licence

A different type of groundskeeping position

We are particularly interested in finding someone who would enjoy the challenge of taking ownership of a landscape that needs bringing back to life.

There will always be routine maintenance, but the real satisfaction in this position should come from seeing the estate improve year after year.

We would expect the successful candidate, after becoming familiar with the property, to be able to say:

“This is what I think we should tackle this month, this is what needs doing before winter, and these are the projects I think we should prioritise over the next 12 months.”

There is considerable scope for the right person to make their mark on the estate.

Working arrangement

Location: Sandford Hall, Claverley, Shropshire, WV5 7AE
Position: Full-time, permanent
Hours: [to be agreed]
Salary: Competitive and dependent upon experience
Start date: By agreement

The position will primarily be Monday-Friday, although some flexibility may occasionally be required depending upon weather, seasonal work or particular projects.

Applicants should provide details of their previous experience, machinery they are competent to operate, relevant qualifications/tickets and examples of similar estates or properties they have previously maintained.

Pay: £25,420.00-£30,000.00 per year

Experience:

estate management: 3 years (preferred)

Work Location: In person
