Landscape Labourer (Sub-Contractor)

Cormorant & Coast – Wildlife-Friendly Gardening & Habitat-Led Landscaping

Job Summary

This is a sub-contractor position. We provide support with administration and clear terms, but you will be responsible for your own tax. The work is flexible in terms of days and availability, and we simply ask for reasonable notice so we can plan jobs effectively.

Cormorant & Coast is a small, nature-focused landscaping business specialising in wildlife-friendly gardening and biodiversity-led outdoor work across the Rame Peninsula and wider South West. Our projects include garden redesigns, habitat creation, naturalistic planting, and long-term maintenance for private and commercial clients.

We are seeking a practical, reliable and physically capable individual who enjoys outdoor work and is confident undertaking manual tasks. The role involves supporting all aspects of garden and landscape projects, including earth moving, digging, lifting, and regular tool and machinery use.

Main Duties

The role will involve a combination of the following:

Landscaping and physical tasks

digging, clearing, soil moving and ground preparation
carrying materials (e.g. soil, gravel, timber, plants, and stone)
lifting heavy loads (up to 25kg on a regular basis)
laying topsoil, compost, mulch and aggregates
building or installing small structural elements (e.g. edging, raised beds)

Tool and machinery operation

use of hand tools (spades, mattocks, rakes, pruning tools)
regular use of powered equipment including:
hedge trimmers
brush cutters
lawnmowers
blowers
compact saws or drills (after training)
basic machine maintenance (fuel checks, blade care, etc.)

Planting and horticulture

planting trees, shrubs and perennials
preparing beds and borders
installing naturalistic planting schemes
green waste handling and site clean-up

Habitat-focused work

creating habitat features (log piles, ponds, pollinator planting etc.)
working on projects designed to support biodiversity

Working Conditions

This role requires:

consistent outdoor work
working in all weather (rain, cold, heat)
walking, kneeling, bending, and lifting for long periods
operating machinery safely
occasional longer days depending on project schedule

Required Attributes

physically fit and comfortable with regular manual labour
confident using tools, or willing to learn
reliable, self-motivated and practical
genuine interest in gardens, landscapes and wildlife
ability to follow instructions and work safely on site

Experience in gardening or landscaping is desirable but not essential; full training can be provided for the right candidate.

A driver’s licence is helpful but not required.

What We Offer

supportive working environment
training in wildlife-friendly and sustainable landscaping
varied work with opportunities to develop skills
involvement in projects that contribute positively to local ecology

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to gain practical experience in horticulture and landscape construction while being part of environmentally responsible work.
