This is a unique opportunity to take a leading role in the stewardship of a vibrant public green space, helping shape its future while maintaining the high standards that visitors enjoy every day. This is not a traditional Head Gardener position. It is a dynamic and varied leadership role where you will balance horticultural operations with wider park responsibilities, team management, visitor engagement, project delivery and site management. Whether you're leading seasonal planting schemes, developing apprentices, supporting community events, overseeing landscape improvements, or helping ensure the park remains safe and welcoming for visitors, you'll play a key role in the success of Queen's Park.

The Role As Head Gardener, you will lead and manage the Gardening Team, including the gardener, apprentices and volunteers, ensuring Queen's Park continues to be maintained and presented to the highest possible standards.

No two days are the same. One day you may be planning new planting displays and supervising practical works, while the next you could be supporting an outdoor event, liaising with community groups, overseeing contractors or helping deliver conservation objectives across the site. The Ideal Candidate You'll be a motivated horticultural professional who enjoys working outdoors, leading people and making a visible difference to a valued public space. You will have: - NVQ Level 3 in Horticulture or equivalent experience. - Strong practical horticultural knowledge and experience. - Experience working within parks, gardens, open spaces or similar environments. - Experience supervising staff, volunteers or contractors. - Excellent communication and customer service skills. - Experience operating horticultural machinery and equipment. - A full UK driving licence. - A positive, adaptable and solutions-focused approach. - A commitment to delivering high standards and excellent visitor experiences.

You'll have the chance to: - Lead a skilled and dedicated team. - Deliver meaningful horticultural and landscape projects. - Develop your leadership and management experience. - Work in a role that combines horticulture, public engagement and park operations. - Help shape the future of a nationally recognised public green space. - Be part of an organisation responsible for some of the UK's most prestigious open spaces.
