Hi, About me: 23 years old, been working as a domestic tree surgeon since I was 20. I have the basic tickets, CS30-32, arial rescue, chainsaw from a harness, stump grinder, chipper and basic first aid. I hold a full UK driver's licence and have my own vehicle. Of the last 3 years I have been climbing regularly for about 2. I'm not going to sell myself as the best climber going - I still have a lot to learn and master - but I'm confident I could be an asset to someone's team. I have experience working in all weather both up trees and on the ground, forest maintenance, roadside/traffic management jobs, garden and street tree work. I have a Level 2 certificate in Arboriculture and I'm currently studying the Level 4 Diploma in Arboriculture through Tree Life. I'm currently working as a tree surgeon in North West England and I would like to move up further north and work in the countryside, but depending on what's available I wouldn't be opposed to working in an urban environment either. I just want a change of scenery and to try somewhere different if I'm honest! If you have need of someone like me please drop a message. I will consider any and all options 🙂 Thanks and have a nice day!

Private residence. Please call/email to arrange to use tipsite. Access from 2nd bend in the road, to the right of green, second house from the end. Deposit on gravel drive in front of grey fencing. No roots, woodchips.

IMG_7739.MOV 69143478266__B0EEB529-6177-4C8B-9CC8-3EE15E9240FA.MOV Hi Arb friends, it’s been a bit of a battle making this post (the second video down works on the phone for me, please ignore the top one… I can’t delete it!) and if it doesn’t work very well I will try again another day. The long and short of it is that we are wondering whether any of you have any video clips that you could share with us as we would like to make some videos to share on social media, spreading the word about jobs in Arb. Any short video clips would have to be high quality, filmed in portrait mode and with safe working practices. If you’re up for joining in please let me know here and I can share contact details to get us going. Thanks in advance for any content or comment. Kate & Beccy 😊

Hi everyone 😊 It's time for another questionnaire. This week We've been chatting about work life balance and would be interested to hear your answers.

We are currently looking for a climber to do regular work with us 3-4 days a week as the business is growing and needs more staff rather than as hoc.

Will pay competitively depending on experience. Contact Ash: 07807670121 [email protected] www.ahtreesurgeon.com

At APF 2022, in collaboration with Keely at Tree Life AC, we are offering information, support and two amazing prizes for the Arboriculture community. Our theme for the show is – 'Supporting arborists in creating a long and satisfying career in trees'. We want to help the aspiring Arborist who is aiming to get off the tools and head into their first technical role - working with trees, but from the ground. We know from many years in the industry talking to arb employers that the PTI is the course that helps consolidate a climbing Arborists’ CV The PTI (Professional Tree Inspector) is a 3-day course which is respected throughout the industry. In combination with a Level 3 in Arboriculture it gets you the leg up to an interview for a technical post - from climber to tree surveyor/tree officer and beyond. Now’s not the time? Not sure whether you’re ready? Or already have a PTI? Never fear – we are also offering a one-day Fungi course – another useful arb qualification. The prizes are being offered by Tree Life in collaboration with us and they are both courses which will support Arborists on their career path and other technical positions. For a chance to WIN either a Professional Tree Inspector course or a Fungi Recognition and Response course All you have to do is: TO ENTER: Either drop us a line at [email protected], follow and message us on Instagram or LinkedIn, or pop along at the show and say hello. That’s all! Once we’ve said hello back and had a short conversation, we’ll pop your name in the pot and you’ll be in with a chance to win. *Small print: The course financial values are £450+vat and £120+vat respectively but it’s the value to a career we’re interested in. There is no cash alternative – the winners will be decided by Tree Life and CTC Recruitment and the judge’s decision is final.
