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!

You’ve got solid horticultural experience and are confident using powered gardening tools.

You’re reliable, proactive, and take pride in your work.

You hold a full, clean UK manual driving licence
