We have an exciting new opportunity for a Head Grounds Person to lead our dedicated and capable Groundstaff team, taking full responsibility for the effective maintenance, preparation and repair of the racing surface, lawns and all grounds across the resort to ensure a high standard of presentation is maintained at all times. You’ll be an integral part of the management team, working particularly closely with the Clerk of the Course to provide going reports and carry out inspections.
