  • About The Role and Person

  • An exciting opportunity has arisen at Capel Manor College and we are now seeking to appoint a 0.6 Gardener (Fixed-term) to work at our Gunnersbury Campus.

    The ideal candidate will have some practical gardening experience and experience using a variety of gardening tools.  They will also have sound plant knowledge and the ability to work effectively using their own initiative.  Good interpersonal skills and the ability to support students and volunteers are also important. 

    This post may include some weekend working. This is a part-time role, working 21.6 hours per week. The actual salary is £15,242 per annum. 

  • About the College

  • Over the last 50 years, Capel Manor College has helped thousands of school leavers and adults achieve their dream of working with animals, plants and the environment.  As London’s environmental college, the College plays a vital role in the green agenda for the capital, equipping the next generation of land-based sector workers with the skills and knowledge needed to preserve and protect London’s wildlife, national parks and green spaces.  Capel Manor College offers excellent staff benefits.  These include generous annual leave, access to a defined pension scheme, retail and leisure discounts and access to an online GP.  For further information on staff benefits, please click here.

    At Capel Manor College, we are dedicated to creating and promoting an equal, diverse, and inclusive workforce that empowers all employees to reach their full potential. We strive for a truly representative workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

    Additionally, we are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of our students. We expect all staff members to share and uphold this commitment.

    Please note that the College does not have a sponsorship licence.  We are therefore unable to consider applicants who do not have the right to work in the UK.

    We reserve the right to close a position once sufficient suitable applications have been received to form a short list.  Early application is therefore encouraged.
