We are looking for a dedicated gardener (m/f/d) (24 hours per week) in Stahnsdorf. For a spacious private property, we are looking for a reliable person who possesses professional expertise, attention to detail and a passion for organic gardening, and who will look after the garden with care, dedication and initiative.

Your tasks:

• General garden and flower care
• Helping to create a biodiverse garden
• Preparing the organic vegetable boxes
• Technical servicing and maintenance of the equipment
• Pond maintenance
• Composting
• Winter maintenance and seasonal work
• Caretaker duties
• Errands, including transport service
• Dog-sitting (as required)

The plot, which covers approximately 10,000 m², offers a varied working environment with a vegetable garden, an orchard meadow, a lawn, a pond, hedges and flowerbeds. Your work will focus on the maintenance and ecological development of the garden. Biodiversity, permaculture and the circular economy – for example, through composting – are key areas of focus. An interest in or experience of these areas is welcome.

The property includes a vegetable subscription scheme for around ten families. Organising the vegetable boxes and their weekly collection on Fridays, as well as liaising with subscribers, may form part of your duties.

During the winter months, your duties may include, amongst other things, the maintenance and repair of garden tools and machinery, as well as snow clearance. A good understanding of technical matters is therefore important. Minor caretaker duties may also be required, subject to agreement.

One person lives in the household; her three adult children visit from time to time, particularly during the holidays. As the resident travels frequently, she would welcome someone who thinks for themselves, acts independently and adapts flexibly to changing tasks. Occasionally, this may involve looking after an elderly terrier or providing transport services and pick-ups.

Her work focuses on gardening and equipment maintenance. Major garden alterations are not planned or carried out independently, but are agreed with the owner beforehand. With a background as a qualified ecologist, the homeowner designs the grounds with great care, taking ecological principles into account. 

The team also includes a housekeeper who will assist you with basic garden maintenance as required. A friendly, respectful atmosphere and discretion are highly valued.

This location is particularly appealing due to the harmonious combination of practical gardening, environmentally friendly practices and a versatile living environment offering opportunities for personal development. Furthermore, it opens up possibilities for other uses, such as in connection with courses (e.g. on composting).

A driving licence is essential, and having your own car would be an advantage, though it is not a requirement. Public transport is available, and the property is well connected to Berlin: Charlottenburg, for example, can be reached in around 30 to 40 minutes.

We offer:

• Permanent position
• Attractive remuneration
• Part-time
• 24 hours a week
• 6 weeks holiday
• Fixed working hours, spread over 3 days a week
• Seasonal working time arrangements
• Start of work by arrangement

Working hours are initially set at three days of eight hours each per week and are arranged flexibly depending on the season. In summer, this may be three to three and a half days a week; during this period, continuous attendance is important. There is less gardening work in winter. Holiday is preferably taken in January or February; a longer period of leave of up to two months may be possible. There is no accommodation available on the property.

We also welcome applications from those with experience, for example as gardeners and landscape gardeners (m/f/d), vegetable gardeners (m/f/d), nursery gardeners (m/f/d), perennial gardeners (m/f/d), ornamental plant gardeners (m/f/d) or fruit gardeners (m/f/d).
