Grow your career with Verdant Parks

At Verdant Parks, we know that a fantastic holiday starts with well-maintained surroundings and safe, welcoming grounds. That’s why we’re looking for a Grounds & Site Maintenance Team Member who takes pride in the essentials: keeping our parks tidy, functional, and visually appealing. From maintaining outdoor areas and facilities to ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, your work will be crucial in creating a seamless, enjoyable experience for our guests.

Our Grounds & Site Maintenance team are the hands-on heroes of the park—keeping everything safe, tidy, and looking its best. From well-kept gardens and play areas to holiday homes, decking, and facilities, you’ll make sure our guests enjoy a welcoming environment from the moment they arrive. Whether it’s siting caravans, fixing decking, mowing lawns, or keeping paths clear, no two days are the same.

Typical duties and responsibilities:

    • Maintaining all grounds, gardens, play areas, and public spaces to a high standard
    • Repairing and landscaping pitches, including decking, patios, and paths
    • Assisting with siting and de-siting caravans and lodges
    • Safely operating and maintaining mowers, tools, and equipment
    • Keeping walkways, fields, and facilities clean, clear, and litter-free
    • Ensuring the park always looks attractive, welcoming, and safe for guests and owners

What We’re Looking for:

We’re looking for someone practical, reliable, and ready to get stuck in. Experience in a similar maintenance or grounds role is ideal, but if you’ve got the right attitude and are quick to learn, we’ll give you the support you need.

A valid driving licence is essential.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • A clean, valid driving licence
  • Previous experience in grounds or site maintenance (experience siting caravans is desirable)
  • Basic skills in carpentry, plumbing, or general maintenance
  • Experience using hand and power tools safely and effectively
  • A hardworking, flexible attitude with a commitment to exceeding customer expectations
  • Willingness to support the wider park team and adapt as needed
