Where it leads

After completing the apprenticeship, the candidate would have the opportunity to become a gardener within one of our sector teams. After some experience they could gain further skills and train to become a tractor driver or take on more responsibility as a lead gardener. Currently the two contract supervisors both started work as gardeners.
