About the job
We would like to take on a full time lead climber to join our friendly team of staff.At Anglo Trees Ltd, we like to offer something different to the regular hours based tree companies.

We give you the option to come back to our yard, tip and leave when you are done, which we believe is very helpful for those with young families (school/nursery pickups) and those who just want to have a bit of an afternoon to themselves. Parking on site at our secure shared yard free of charge.
We also operate our own unique paternal/maternal leave scheme where if you have just had a child then we essentially pay you 2 weeks of your basic wage so you can spend time with your partner/child etc. (subject to conditions of time at company)
