We’re on the lookout for a Horticultural and Estates apprentice to start in September 2026.
You will be part of the Horticultural and Estates Team and you will be required to complete a program of development and training in our Neighbourhoods Team to ensure our estates and void properties are maintained to a high standard.
By working in partnership with East Durham College we have successfully recruited enthusiastic and talented apprentices and we are delighted to be helping to develop young people and adults to gain the necessary skills and qualifications to enhance their careers.
The successful candidate will work towards the Level 2 Horticultural Apprenticeship, which is a 24-month programme.
You will need a full driving license or be working towards one for this role.
For further information about this post, please read the full job description.
As well as the opportunity to earn while you learn, we offer a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing, motivate you, and help you do your best work.
We offer a competitive salary of £19,000 per annum during year one, with this rising to £24,521.29 in year two of your apprenticeship.
Some of our top benefits and rewards include:
- 31 days of annual leave, plus four volunteering days
- a competitive pension scheme
- flexible working that supports your wellbeing
- a positive, inclusive culture where growth and development are genuinely encouraged.
- If you’re under 19, you must have Level 2 qualifications in English and Maths (GCSE grade 4/C or Functional Skills).
- If you are 19 or over, you will not need to demonstrate Maths and English at Level 2. However, strong numeracy and literacy skills are still essential to successfully complete the apprenticeship standards.
If you believe that you demonstrate our values and can bring something special to this role, then apply now. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
