Continental Landscapes Ltd

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Continental Landscapes are committed to supporting the families of our armed forces personnel by providing training, work experience and job opportunities on our grounds maintenance and street cleansing contracts.

Due to the nature of our work we can offer short-term seasonal employment, which can benefit armed forces families who may miss opportunities due to relocation; we also offer more permanent positions.

We offer apprenticeships and work experience for young people, providing an insight into the variety of career paths there are in the horticultural industry.

We support people into work by helping with interview skills, CV writing and boosting confidence through work experience placements.

We promote the benefits to health and wellbeing of being in nature and looking after the natural environment. We therefore support local volunteer events and environmental projects providing opportunities for all to join in, meet others in their local community, combatting feelings of isolation.
