This role of Gardener Caretaker supports the gardening and caretaker teams. The split of the workload
will change across the season; summer work predominantly in the gardens and winter work predominately
in the castle. Typically, in the summer, two days a week will be required for sole caretaker duties and three
days a week for gardening duties. In the winter, most work will be in the castle supporting deep clean and
maintenance but occasionally supporting the gardening team by prior arrangement through the operations
manager.
The caretaker role provides immediate response to any fire or security issues across any 24 hour period
and therefore residence in the immediate vicinity of the castle is a requirement of the role and
accommodation will be provided.
