Full job description

About us

Willow Alexander Gardeners is a design-led horticultural company with a long-standing maintenance division and an active design and build department. We look after gardens for clients across South East London and into the Kent borders — from compact city gardens to larger private gardens on the borders — and our maintenance work is held to the same standard as the gardens our design team builds.

We run a fleet of vans out of a planted yard in Sidcup, with office and admin support behind every round. The team takes the craft seriously.

The role

You'll lead a maintenance crew of two to three on a regular round of clients, reporting to the Maintenance Manager. The work is hands-on: pruning, planting, lawn care, hedge work, soil care, seasonal tasks, and the steady detail that keeps a garden looking properly cared for through the year.

Day-to-day, you'll be responsible for:

Running the day on site — quality of work, pace, safety, client interactions
Plant health: identification, pruning regimes, pest and disease management
Leading and developing two to three crew members, including apprentices
Tools, machinery, and vehicle care; reporting issues back into the depot
Communicating with clients on site with confidence and courtesy
Feeding back into the office on plant performance, planting refreshes, and design-build opportunities you spot on round

You

You're an experienced horticulturist who has led a maintenance team before. You can identify plants by sight, you know how a garden behaves through the seasons, and you take a quiet pride in leaving a site better than you found it.

Essential:

Proven garden maintenance experience, including team leadership
Strong plant knowledge — identification, pruning, pest and disease control
Confident with commercial hand tools and machinery (mowers, blowers, hedge cutters, brushcutters)
Soft landscaping skills (planting, turfing, edging, soil prep)
Full UK driving licence
Right to work in the UK

Desirable:

PA1 / PA6 spraying certificates
First aid certificate
NPTC chainsaw or relevant machinery tickets
RHS Level 2 or equivalent

What we offer

£28,000–£32,000 per year, reviewed annually
28 days' holiday (20 days plus 8 bank holidays)
Workplace pension
Full uniform and PPE
Company van for the round,
Tools and machinery provided and maintained
Training and ticket support — we'll fund relevant certifications
Proper depot with kitchen, mess room, parking, and admin support
Genuine progression into senior or specialist roles as the business grows

Pay: £28,000.00-£32,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Free parking
