Meet Our Recruiter
About the Role
At Ocean to Earth Recruitment, we partner with forward-thinking, values-driven environmental consultancies that are reshaping how the built and natural environments can thrive together. Right now, we’re working with a standout practice that’s offering an exciting opportunity for a Senior Landscape Architect to join their team and make a genuine impact — all while working just 4 days a week, with 100% of the pay.
Why This Role is Different

They operate on a 4-day working week model, meaning you get 80% of the hours for 100% of the salary, giving you more time to recharge, explore, and live well outside of work. It's a culture built around mutual support, bold thinking, and making a positive difference — for the planet, people, and places.
