Greenkeeper Apprentice
Founded in 1919, Gillingham Club is a private members’ club located in the Medway Towns in Gillingham, Kent. The Club is seeking to employ a full-time apprentice greenkeeper who can demonstrate the following attributes: A strong work ethic. A positive attitude. An ability to work within a tight knit, hard-working and enthusiastic team. A good eye for detail and the ability to help produce the golf course to as high a standard as possible. An awareness of the need to operate and maintain a variety of fine turf equipment in a safe manner. An ability to follow the Club’s Health and Safety policies. A desire to learn new skills. Excellent communication skills. A knowledge of Sports turf maintenance is not essential as full training will be provided, and an understanding of golf would be an advantage but not essential. The Club operates a modern fleet of greenkeeping equipment. The successful candidate has the potential to gain valuable experience in golf course construction projects, woodland management and preparing the course to very high standards throughout the year. The Club also has many projects in the pipeline and the greenkeeping team will play a part in many of these. The role is full time working 40 hours week and will include some weekend working. Uniform and personal protection equipment is provided along with a pension plan and staff fund.Training:Theory of greenkeeping through one-to-one sessions and portfolio days at college.Training Outcome:Qualification, experience, visible career path resulting in potential First Assistant - Deputy Head and Head Greenkeeper. Employer Description:1905 - 1919 Our club was originally known as The United Services Golf Club, having been set up by serving officers of the armed forces. It is not known exactly when it started, but it was certainly registered with the Royal and Ancient in 1905 as a nine hole course with 50 members. Even the exact site is uncertain, it is believed that golf was played north of the railway line with the Mulberry Inn, on the Lower Rainham Road, acting as a convenient HQ. (It is important to remember that in those days any field could become an instant golf course without the expensive construction work necessary today). In the Great War, the course, by this time on its present site, fell into disuse to become grazing land. In 1919, the Club was re-instated and James Braid was commissioned to lay out a new course. Lt George Taylor RN was an early Secretary. 1920 - 1950 The clubhouse started its life as an old army hut purchased for £40. By 1920 a few civilians were admitted as honorary members at a time when horses were still pulling the mowers to cut the fairways. Three years later, a Ladies' Section was formed At this point it has to be stated that in later years most of the Club records have been lost, but fortunately those of the Ladies have survived to give us an unbroken record back to 1923. The Second War saw the course left in the hands of a few elderly but dedicated civilians, who were able to keep four holes going whilst the remainder was given over to tank traps, anti aircraft rocket and searchlight batteries. 1950-1958 At the end of hostilities, the War Office were persuaded to rehabilitate the course and by 1950, fifteen holes were in use with the others following shortly after. In times of change the civilian element grew and, due to greater mobility, the service membership declined. To reflect this, the name changed to Gillingham and United Services Golf Club. As the War Office at this time seemed unwilling to clarify our leasing arrangements our affairs were, for necessity, run very much on a shoestring. It was not until 1958 that a new lease was agreed. 1960 - 2002 Shortly after in 1960 the whole site was sold to Gillingham Council eventually giving us some security of tenure. So much so, that in 1964 the sorely needed new clubhouse was built. This was further extended four years later to include a steward's flat. All this activity made it prudent to form in 1964 a proper company, Gillingham Golf Club Ltd. 1986 saw a serious threat to the continued existence of the Club when it was clear that a dual carriageway link road was to be built across the course. There was much speculation about alternative sites and a period of uncertainty prevented any further progress and, indeed, a freezing of membership. In the event, the land lost to the new road was partially replaced by a section of the Langton playing fields. This enabled us to construct new holes in good time and to start negotiations for a longer lease, which in turn paved the way for our next new clubhouse. 2002 - Present Day Our splendid new building which was formally opened on 8th March 2002 by Mr Ronnie Corbett O.B.E. From then onwards, steady progress was made and the new facilities settled down to give the Club a home of which members could justifiably be proud. In 2005 Centenary celebrations took place through the year and should augur well for the next hundred years. Copies of the Centenerary book 'A Hundred Years of Gillingham Golf Club' written by Mr J Wigley are available from the office. These are priced at £3 for non members, members can obtain a copy free of charge.Working Hours :Monday – Friday (but can be flexible with college) 6am – 2pm Weekend time TBC.Skills: Communication skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Problem solving skills,Presentation skills,Team working,Creative,Initiative,Physical fitness,Positive attitude,Strong work ethic ....Read more...

I would encourage you to explore this offer on the school website.
