Hi - can anyone help?!
I've posted a job vacancy below, but if anyone has any suggestions for a more appropriate job title do shout! Really difficult to know what to call this multi-talented person -- if indeed they exist at all. Again, any thoughts gratefully received! Are my expectations too high?!?? What can I expect to pay this person? Incredibly grateful for any guidance :)
NEEDED URGENTLY - SKILLED GARDENING/LANDSCAPING LABOURER
To join the team of a gardening & design company based on the West Sussex/Surrey Borders. Initially until approx October 2014 on a self-employed basis for approx 30-hours per week. Possibility of role developing in the future into a more permanent position.
Duties such as soft-landscaping, light fencing/trellising, decking, hedge-cutting etc, who can ideally also undertake small hard-landscaping works such as paths and paving. (large scale projects are sub-contracted). Supervision of junior team as appropriate.
Own reliable transport, experience of a wide range of garden machinery and proven experience essential. Chain saw licence (CS30 or 31) and ability to drive a mini-digger an advantage.
For an informal discussion and more information please contact Angela on 01403 820321 / 07789 293591 or angela@ladypenelopegardening.com. www.ladypenelopegardening.com

Hi Angela
I'd removed the word labourer from the title as it tends to conjure up a menial or transient position.
If you're looking for a skilled person then it's best to concentrate on this and attract the best potential to your advert.
Let me know asap and I can edit your Landscape Engine advert too.
Good advice Phil, thank you, I agree. Appreciate your help.
Best wishes
Angela
