Do you enjoy working outdoors, getting hands-on with nature, and making green spaces shine? If so, we’ve got a role that’s right up your street.

As an Estate Services Gardener, your day might begin with tackling scheduled grounds maintenance tasks—trimming hedges, planting vibrant seasonal beds, mowing lawns, and keeping weeds under control.

And here’s a little extra: you can refer friends to any of our roles once employed at Peabody and you will receive £250 when they commence employment!
