We are looking for someone that loves working outdoors to train as an Apprentice in gardening and landscaping. You must be prepared for hard physical labour and be able to work from your own initiative. You will also be expected to work in all weathers.
Not only will your organisation (or the Government) pay for all of your training, but you’ll be paid to do it. That means you could actually get paid to get your degree and have no debt!

As an apprentice, the minimum you’ll earn is £6.20 an hour, but we’ve seen apprentices earn a starting salary of up to £30,000 a year! You could also get other employee benefits like gym memberships, paid holiday, and sick pay.
