Grounds & Maintenance Supervisor

Are you someone who finds joy in perfectly trimmed hedges, freshly swept paths, and gardens that bring a smile to people's faces? Do you take pride in leading a team and creating spaces that feel like home? At Levande Cardinal Freeman, we’re looking for a Grounds and Maintenance Supervisor who wants more than just a job — someone who wants to make a difference, outdoors.
Why This Role is Special
This isn’t just about lawns and leaves — it’s about creating a place that feels like home for our residents and their families. As Grounds and Maintenance Supervisor, you'll be the hands and heart behind the beautiful spaces that bring people together. From peaceful garden strolls to lively outdoor events, your work sets the scene for connection, comfort, and care.
You’ll lead a small, dedicated team and manage all aspects of garden and grounds presentation, bringing out the best in both people and place.
What You’ll Do
- Champion the care of gardens, outdoor areas, and communal spaces
- Lead and mentor a team of maintenance staff with pride and purpose
- Plan and carry out hands-on gardening, grounds, and general maintenance tasks
- Keep outdoor areas clean, welcoming, and safe — every detail matters
- Respond to resident requests and safety issues with care and efficiency
- Maintain tools and equipment with attention and care
- Be a friendly, reliable presence in the community you help shape

What You’ll Bring
- At least 3 years’ experience in garden or grounds maintenance
- Confidence leading a small team and setting daily priorities
- A customer-first mindset and great communication skills
- Good physical fitness — you’ll be hands-on and outdoors

Even Better If You Have
- Experience in retirement living, schools, or public grounds
- A valid driver’s licence (bonus if you can drive a 12-seater bus)
- Your Higher School Certificate or similar qualification
