Apprentice Greenkeeper
Have you just left school? Are you looking for a career in the golf industry and seeking a modern apprenticeship?
This newly created position is available for someone looking for a rare and exciting opportunity in the Banchory area.
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual willing to listen and learn; be part of a small team but also have the initiative to work on their own when required.
Due to the nature of the role, you must be able to start work at 6am with some weekend shifts. This is more than just a job; it’s a stepping stone to a rewarding career in the golf industry.
The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience whilst learning the modern skills and knowledge required to meet a greenkeepers job profile including:
- Maintaining the health of sports turf.
- Renovating and repairing sports turf surfaces.
- Use and maintenance of powered and non-powered hand tools.
- How to use and maintain ride-on mowers, personal development and more.
Whilst this is predominantly a work-based two-year apprenticeship, your induction and additional training for short courses will be held at SRUC Elmwood College in Cupar, Fife, giving you the opportunity to learn from industry professionals both on the job and through the short courses.
On completion of the apprenticeship, you will receive an SVQ 2 National Qualification in Sports Turf Maintenance.
For the duration of the apprenticeship, you will be fully employed by Inchmarlo Golf Centre.
