Climbing Arborist

We're after a climber for our tree surgery work across Surrey and South West London. Small, CHAS-accredited team based in Hersham.

Mostly domestic, in people's gardens. Reductions, crown lifts, deadwooding, sectional dismantles, and the odd big fell. Tight access, close targets, careful rigging. It's the kind of work where doing it neat matters as much as doing it quick.

Jade is our team leader. He runs the crew on site and he's who you'd report to. You're never up there without a competent second person on the ground.

What we're looking for:

• CS30/31 and CS38/39 as a minimum
• Safe at height and tidy with your rigging
• Good with customers. Most of our work is in people's homes
• Happy to work to the team leader's call on site
• Full UK driving licence preferred
• Right to work in the UK, and alright with a DBS check for school sites

Newly qualified? Still worth applying. Hours in the tree matter less to us than attitude. If you've got your tickets but you're still green, we'll take you on. What we need is someone who asks when they're not sure instead of pressing on and hoping, and who can take a bit of criticism for what it is. There's a lot of experience across this team and it's there for you to use. What doesn't work here is someone who already knows everything.

What we offer:

• £180 to £250 a day depending on experience and tickets
• Steady, varied work all year round across a local patch
• Home every night. No overnights, no long travel
• Paid weekly, on time
• Well maintained kit and a crew that keeps it that way
• Support towards further tickets and courses
• Self-employed to start, PAYE available after a trial period
• A team leader who backs you up and sorts problems on site instead of leaving you to it

Full time ideally, but we'd look at part time for the right climber. Start when you're ready.
