Mornington Green Living Legacy Gardens | Somerville, VIC
Full-time | Monday–Friday | 9:00am–5:00pm

A role with variety, purpose and plenty of fresh air.

Mornington Green Living Legacy Gardens is a unique 32-acre memorial park in Somerville, where families create lasting legacies through living legacy trees.

We’re looking for a Grounds & Events Assistant to join our team in a varied, hands‑on role that combines gardening, landscaping and property maintenance with supporting our ceremonies and functions team.

No two days will necessarily look the same. One day you might be helping keep our gardens and grounds looking their best; the next you could be setting up for a family ceremony, assisting with a function or helping the team with administration.

What you’ll be doing

Grounds, gardening & maintenance

- Gardening and landscaping duties across our 32-acre property
- Maintaining gardens, pathways, outdoor areas and facilities
- General property maintenance and repairs
- Assisting with set‑up and pack‑down for events and ceremonies
- Keeping equipment, work areas and facilities clean, organised and well maintained

Ceremonies, functions & administration

- Assisting the ceremonies and functions team with preparation and set‑up
- Helping ensure ceremony spaces are presented beautifully for families
- Moving and arranging chairs, tables and other equipment
- Assisting with catering and function preparation where required
- Supporting basic administration and organisational tasks
- Providing practical support to the wider Mornington Green team

About you

- Enjoys practical, hands‑on work and being outdoors
- Takes pride in keeping gardens, grounds and facilities looking their best
- Is reliable, punctual and takes ownership of their work




- Is comfortable working independently as well as part of a team
- Has good attention to detail and takes pride in presentation
- Is physically capable of undertaking gardening, maintenance and event set‑up duties
- Is comfortable using basic tools and equipment
- Has valuable communication skills and a friendly, respectful manner

Previous experience in gardening, landscaping, maintenance, groundskeeping, events or a similar role would be highly regarded, but we’re also interested in the right person with a great attitude and willingness to learn.

Why Mornington Green?

Mornington Green is unlike a traditional workplace. Our beautiful gardens provide a peaceful environment, but our days are active and varied.

You’ll be part of a close‑knit team helping create meaningful experiences for families at some of the most important moments in their lives.

Mornington Green is in an exciting growth phase, which represents plenty of future opportunities for the right candidate.

If you’re someone who likes working with your hands, being outdoors, keeping things looking outstanding and being part of a team, we’d love to hear from you.

Please include your video link in the application questions when applying through SEEK.

Instead of writing a cover letter, please include a 1–2 minute video with your application telling us:

- A little about yourself and your experience
- What attracted you to the role at Mornington Green
- Why you think you’ll be a good fit for the team

Don’t overthink it - a video recorded on your phone is perfect. We’re not looking for a polished presentation. We simply want to see who you are, hear you speak and get a feel for your personality.

A CV is still required, but no cover letter is necessary.
