This is a re-advertised post for a climber to cover holiday, required urgently for our small and thriving tree surgery team. It seems my other advert didn't make the dough very clear and I'm not allowed to edit it. Must have own PPE and climbing kit. Please get in touch if you have a several years doing good reductions and are comfortable dismantling up to 28". Tree officers will be looking at your furnishing growths and things. We're based in Wimbledon and work all over London. Please send CVs or a quick personal summary to me. I need the cover for 3 weeks, but if we're busy I might well need you to hang around. Best regards, Tom [email protected]

Hello everyone, I urgently need a climber to cover a holiday period of one of my staff. The right man will be very competent at crown reductions and know all about furnishing growth and drop-crotching, no wild pollarders please! Dismantling also required up to 28" DBH. The pay is £11.20 p/h. Our overtime rate is time and half so £16.80 p/h. We generally do 10 to 20 hours a month. Must have own PPE. I need an immediate starter, or asap, who also has a clean driving license. The work might continue beyond 2 or 3 weeks but we'll see how busy we are. Please get in touch, particularly if you just need to fill a gap in employment or are just bored and good at reductions! The work is not street work. Many thanks, Tom [email protected]

Hello everyone, I have successfully hired my last 4 people off here, so here I am again. I need a new trainee with their own PPE to work on a day rate of £75pd, either part time or full time, this is because The Owl is leaving us and going to Sweden which is a shame, apparently there's a good woman there I need CV's please. I am half inclined to take on someone with plenty of climbing experience for £21,000 (plus 28 days holiday), but it is very important that you aren't pathalogically grumpy because I will notice. Anyway, please apply too. We tend to do 5 to 20 hours overtime a month at TIME AND A HALF, pretty great isn't it! We also have small bonuses every quarter that pay between £0 and £300 generally.

In celebration of the International Year of Forests, 2011, the Arboricultural Association Scottish Branch and Forestry Commission Scotland are working together in aid of a new charity fund-raising event: Climb a Mile. This will involve a team of professional arborists climbing a tree in relay to achieve a total height equal to or greater than one mile. This will be held in the stunning grounds of Scone Palace. Participants will be climbing one of the magnificent specimen trees in the arboretum. This will be held on the 18th and 19th of June. Participants will be expected to raise sponsorship money to be given in entirety to the Help for Heroes charity. We need as many climbers as possible to help us achieve the one mile goal, and to raise as much money for Help the Heroes as possible. This will be a great day - one not to be missed or forgotten!
