Natura Grounds Maintenance Ltd is a professional, family-run grounds maintenance and arboricultural business based in Newton Village, serving Rugby and the surrounding areas. We are seeking a competent, reliable Tree Surgeon / Climber to join our team on a part-time PAYE basis.

 

This role is suited to someone who wants steady, reliable work without full-time commitment, and who values proper employment, good kit, and being treated as a respected part of a small team.

You will work as part of a 2–3 person team, carrying out a varied mix of arboricultural and grounds maintenance work, including:

• Tree dismantling and sectional felling
• Crown reductions, thinning and dead-wooding
• Hedge cutting and boundary management
• Chipping, brash handling and site clearance
• Grounds maintenance tasks as required (including strimming and general site work)

 

This is not a climb-only role. You must be willing to contribute fully at all levels of work.

 

Essential Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

• Minimum 3 years’ professional arboricultural experience
• Competent climber, confident with technical dismantles
• Relevant NPTC / LANTRA certificates (chainsaw, climbing & aerial rescue as a minimum)
• Full, clean UK driving licence
• Over 25 years of age (essential for company vehicle insurance)
• Strong understanding of safe working practices
• Reliable, punctual, and professional attitude

 

Pay & Benefits

• £150 per day (PAYE), based on a 10-hour working day
• 6-month probationary period, with pay and working days reviewed thereafter
• Paid monthly by BACS
• Workplace pension
• Paid holiday entitlement
• Sick pay
• All PPE, climbing equipment, and tools provided
• Well-maintained vehicles and machinery

 

About You

You take pride in your work, turn up on time, and are happy working across both trees and grounds maintenance. You value consistency, professionalism, and being part of a small, well-run team rather than ad-hoc sub-contracting.
