Do you enjoy working outdoors, staying active, and taking pride in creating beautiful outdoor spaces? Are you someone who enjoys a chat, can work independently, and likes knowing your work genuinely makes a difference?

We're looking for an experienced Gardener to maintain the beautifully landscaped gardens of
aged care communities across Sydney. This is more than just a gardening role-this is your work will create safe, welcoming outdoor spaces that residents enjoy every day. If you're someone who takes pride in your work, enjoys working autonomously, and is happy to stop for a friendly chat with residents, you'll fit right in.

This is an autonomous role where you'll often run your own ship, working independently or as part of a small crew. You'll be trusted to manage your day, take ownership of your sites, and consistently deliver gardens that residents and staff can be proud of.

As you'll regularly interact with residents and site staff, we're looking for someone who is friendly, well-presented, respectful and enjoys building positive relationships with people. A warm smile and willingness to stop for a quick chat are just as important as having a great eye for detail in the garden.

Enjoy flexible working hours with the option of 7:00am-3:00pm or 8:00am-4:00pm, Monday to Friday.

- No formal qualification required-experience is what matters

- Current White Card

- Current full driver's licence with a good driving record (essential)

- Physically fit and capable of manual outdoor work

- Comfortable working independently as well as in a small crew

- Friendly, skilled and confident interacting with elderly residents, visitors and site staff

- Reliable, self-motivated and takes genuine pride in producing quality work

What's On Offer

- $36.81 per hour

- Flexible start and finish times (7:00am-3:00pm or 8:00am-4:00pm)

- A genuinely autonomous role where you're trusted to manage your own day

We are an equal opportunity employer and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.

Please note: Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted. A current full driver's licence, driver history check, police check, and pre-employment drug and alcohol screening are required as part of the recruitment process.
