The Reality
We work in the rain
You will get your hands and clothes dirty
The work is manual in nature so if you can't see yourself digging a hole, weeding a garden, hedging above your head, etc. Don't apply
There is definitely an expectation on time management. If you cant work to a schedule, then you wont last long Most days we visit multiple properties so the ability to prioritise tasks and manage time is critical to the role.
We expect all staff to be able to call each other if there is a problem, if you have an issue with asking for help, this isn't the job for you.
We work in the heat (up to a point), so if you can't manage heat and hydration, look elsewhere.
Yes there are insects in the outdoors, ants, spiders, snakes, ticks, leeches. That's what happens when you work outdoors.
There are very few gardens that are flat in Kangaroo Valley, so you need to be physically capable.
If you are interested in this role we would love to hear from you - call Mark on *** with your relevant experience & why you're interested in the role BEFORE you send a resume to ****@deliciousgardens.com.au.
