Lawn Care Operative – GreenThumb GravesendLove being outdoors? Hate being stuck at a desk? Read on.

GreenThumb — the UK’s leading lawn care provider, trading since 1986 and GreenThumb's 40th Birthday year proudly part of the Keyto group — is growing fast, and we want you on the team as a Lawn Care Operative at GreenThumb Gravesend..

We’ve spent nearly 40 years perfecting what we do: pioneering no-scorch technology, transforming tired lawns, and rolling out our brand-new lawn treatment cycle. And we’re not stopping at lawns — we now offer a full suite of outdoor home services including Mowing and more, giving our customers everything they need to love their gardens, all year round.

What's in it for you:

• Starting salary:  £27248.00 + £2,000 OTE
• Annual salary reviews
• Holiday allowance that grows with you - starting at 22 days + Bank Holidays, rising to 26 with length of service

The job, in a nutshell

You’ll be the face of GreenThumb across your patch — visiting customers daily to apply treatments, diagnose lawn issues, and spot wider opportunities in the garden. You’ll offer expert advice, recommend the products and services that suit each customer, and handle seasonal machine work (aerating, scarifying, top-dressing). Every visit is a chance to grow the business and build relationships. Independent, active, outdoors — no two days the same.

Not a lawn care expert? Good.

We’re not necessarily looking for lawn care experts — we’re looking for people who are brilliant with customers. The lawn knowledge will come; we’ll train you on all of it. But great customer service can’t be taught, and it’s at the root of everything we do.

You’ll thrive here if you

• Hold a full UK manual driving licence
• Love talking to people and delivering brilliant service

• Are organised, reliable and self-motivated
• Have the right to work in the UK
