Fall Garden Care and Leaf Collection Team Member
Hiring for Fall 2026:
Who Are We Looking For?
We are looking for individuals of all ages who are strong, fit, and love working outside and putting in an earnest day's effort. A little wind or rain doesn’t bother you, and you thrive outdoors! Spring and Fall, of course, are the busiest seasons, and Fall 2026 is right around the corner! We are currently looking for a few fresh faces to join our Fall Clean-Up Crew!
Seeking individuals to start in mid-September and work through the end of November. Some winter-weather opportunities may also be available, depending on your location, experience, and skill set. Spring 2027 opportunities are also available if the Fall/Winter season goes well and you'd like to join us during our busiest season next year.
Who Would Be a Good Fit for This Role?
This role is great for someone looking for flexible part-time work, with room to pick up extra shifts during the peak seasons. Whether you’re a student, an adult already working a full-time job, or retired and looking for part-time work, there is room to grow with the team and the company year after year. We cannot always guarantee hours because of the nature of this work. Though we try our best to be fair and give as many shifts as we can to everyone, depending on availability, skills & experience. There are periods of the year where you can expect fewer shifts, and some periods where you could work anywhere from 4-6 days a week consistently. The more diversity among the team and everyone’s schedule, the more often things work out, and the more flexibility we have to help one another when we can.
This role is also perfect for Sheridan students with a weekday or two off from classes each week who’d like to dedicate that time solely to work. For our team members, full-day availability on Mondays, Fridays & Saturdays helps during this busy fall season for larger team fall clean-ups and wider-scope softscape jobs. Sometimes we complete gardening and fall clean-up jobs during the weekdays if we can all get to the job site.
Responsibilities & Expectations:
· Raking leaves - continuous strain on shoulders, neck and back; using ergonomic movements to reduce stress on the body while working and completing repetitive tasks
· Continuous reaching and bending to scoop leaves, sticks and other plant matter up, bagging them, or placing them on a tarp, which will be brought to the curb of the client if they have vacuum pickup for their residential area.
· Working as a team to achieve the goals for the property given out by the lead.
· Being prepared to bundle up and work in some windy and chilly conditions, as we move into the colder months (we recommend wearing layers and packing a thermos of soup or a hot lunch)
· Being prepared to work anywhere between 5 hours and 8 hours on average, completing strenuous work (we take breaks throughout the day to make sure we can pace ourselves throughout the busy and intense weeks of heavy-duty fall clean-ups)
Skills:
· Lifting at least 10-20 pounds at times, carrying heavy yard waste bags when required. Sometimes 40-50lbs (if you can lift more than that, it would be considered an asset for heavier types of landscape work)
· Any Garden Maintenance knowledge is helpful and an asset (Perennial Care)
· Gardening Experience/Development of Gardening Skills
· Landscaping Experience
· Attention to Detail (helpful skill to have in this line of work)
· Good Memory (a helpful skill to have in this line of work)
· Teamwork and Collaboration
· Enjoys Learning and Learning on the job.
· A G2 or G licence is an asset but not required to be hired.
· Ability to drive your own vehicle to the properties is a plus; however, it is not required to be considered. Some days, we can carpool team members if they can meet the lead (usually around 8:30 AM) at the main Headquarters in Oakville, where the teams leave from every day.
