About Everso Local
Everso Local is a growing landscaping and property maintenance business based in Loughborough. We specialise in creating and maintaining outdoor spaces that are built to last, with a strong focus on quality workmanship, professionalism and excellent customer service.
As our business continues to grow, we’re looking for a reliable and hardworking Landscaping Operations Assistant to join our small team.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys practical work, working outdoors, gardening or DIY, and wants to build a long-term career in landscaping. Professional landscaping experience isn’t essential, we’re far more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn.
The Role
You’ll assist with a wide variety of landscaping and garden maintenance work across domestic properties, including:
- Lawn mowing, edging and strimming
- Hedge cutting, pruning and garden maintenance
- Weeding, planting and seasonal tidy-ups
- Garden clearances
- Preparing ground for new landscaping projects
- Assisting with patios, paving and pathways
- Decking, fencing and sleeper installations
- Loading and unloading tools and materials
- Driving the company van between jobs (where appropriate)
- Maintaining tools, equipment and vehicles to a high standard
- Providing a professional, friendly service to our customers
No two days are the same, and you’ll have the opportunity to learn a broad range of practical skills.
About You
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is reliable, honest and punctual
- Enjoys practical, hands-on work

- Is willing to learn and develop new skills
- Works well as part of a small team
- Is physically fit and happy working outdoors in all weather conditions
- Treats customers, tools and equipment with respect
- Has good common sense and a positive attitude
Essential
- Full UK driving licence (manual preferred, automatic licence holders are still encouraged to apply)
- Ability to undertake physically demanding work, including lifting, digging and working outdoors
Desirable
- Experience in gardening, landscaping, construction, property maintenance or similar practical work
- DIY experience or confidence using hand and power tools
- Experience towing trailers (not essential)
What We Offer
- £12.71–£14.50 per hour depending on experience and capability
- Zero-hours contract initially, with the aim of progressing to regular 37.5-hour weeks as the business grows
- Paid travel between jobs
- Full training provided
- All tools, PPE and equipment supplied
- Opportunities to learn professional landscaping skills
- Varied and rewarding work
- Regular pay reviews based on performance and increased responsibility
- Genuine opportunities for progression into senior roles and eventually running your own jobs
A Few Honest Points
This is rewarding work, but it can also be physically demanding.
You’ll sometimes be working in rain, cold weather or summer heat. There will be days involving digging, lifting heavy materials, wheelbarrowing aggregates and working to high standards from start to finish.
If you’re looking for an easy day, this probably isn’t the role for you.
If you enjoy practical work, want to learn a skilled trade and like seeing the results of your efforts at the end of each day, you’ll likely find it extremely rewarding.
A Message from the Owner
When I started Everso Local, I wanted to build the kind of business I’d be proud to work for.
For us, quality always comes before cutting corners. We invest in good equipment, do jobs properly and treat our customers with honesty and respect. We’re still a growing business, which means every member of the team has the opportunity to make a real difference and grow with us.
I’m not looking for someone who already knows everything. I’m looking for someone who’s dependable, wants to learn, takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about doing a good job. Skills can be taught; attitude and reliability are much harder to find.
If you join Everso Local and prove yourself, you’ll be given responsibility, supported to develop your skills and have genuine opportunities to progress as the business grows.
