**Full Time**
- Do you want a change in lifestyle?_
- If so, here's your opportunity _

**About our District** - Our mission is to make our communities better and this role will play a key part in achieving this. We are located in a tranquil area of New Zealand offering some of the best access to the great outdoors. We also boast attractive housing prices for your town, village or rural lifestyle and we are within commuting distance to larger centres.

**About our Organisation** - We are an energetic and progressive, values-based organisation, that is dedicated to providing quality services and facilities for our communities. We place a strong emphasis on our organisational culture, which in turn, creates strong engagement across our team. We employ people with a 'Can Do' attitude who want to work for a united organisation with a strong sense of family that is proud to serve its communities.

At STDC, we offer a proven "best place to work" environment, access to a sick leave bank, flexible working opportunities and retention incentive benefit upon five years of employment. Our team culture encourages innovation, we care about your professional development, and you will be working with an elite and motivated team of professionals.

**About the Role** - The role will require guiding a small team in their daily tasks. For this role you will be expected to show you are willing to work towards level 4 amenity horticulture, while holding a minimum of 3 years' experience in a role with similar responsibilities. This is a hands-on role, working within the Horticultural Services team maintaining our parks and reserves across the district. So, if you have experience within the industry, this may be the role for you.

**About You** - As you will be working outdoors, you will frequently work in dirty, wet, cold, hot, or dusty conditions depending upon the season and weather. Protective clothing and equipment are frequently used. This is a physically demanding role (medium to heavy demand level) and you will need to be capable of lifting and carrying of medium to heavy loads, standing, walking, squatting, crouching, bending, or kneeling on a frequent basis, stretching up and twisting the body or neck, making repetitive movements on an occasional to constant basis, driving daily and moving from one area or property to another.

This role also holds a reactive element so duties during the day may change. Some tasks may be constant on a seasonal or rotational basis but only occur periodically. We also provide opportunities for job related training and studies towards achieving relevant qualifications.

Our Parks staff work in a vibrant and ever-changing environment and have a real passion for their vocation. This role provides an exciting opportunity to have a positive impact on some of Taranaki's best parks.
