THE BISCUIT FACTORY  Reviews

The job posting is for a Gardener position at The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle. The role involves managing and maintaining various planting schemes throughout the gallery and events space. It is stated that the position is part-time with flexible hours, around events commitments, and the hourly rate is £11.50.

The main responsibilities include tending to areas like The Garden Room, which will be used for private hire and has tropical plants and trees, as well as living walls, potted trees, the cafe terrace, and a small area of external landscape maintenance. However, it would be helpful to know if any specific gardening qualifications or knowledge of tropical plants are required for this role, as the job description does not mention any specific requirements in that regard.

Additionally, it's mentioned that automatic watering systems are in place, but regular maintenance, pruning, weeding, and tidying are still required. Could someone please provide more information on the specific maintenance tasks expected of the Gardener position and how often they would need to be performed?

Furthermore, the benefits mentioned include discounted or free food, flexitime, free parking, and on-site parking. It would be beneficial to know more about the flexitime policy, such as how flexible the hours can be and if there are any limitations or specific requirements for working hours during events.
