FOXTEL is casting for a replacement host for landscape designer Charlie Albone on Selling Houses Australia.  We're on the hunt for a charismatic, passionate landscaping pro. If you know more than a thing or two about gardening and are keen to give TV a crack, we want to hear from you!  The successful applicant will also become News Corp Australia’s new gardening columnist.  

Selling Houses Australia is a long running top rating property show on the LifeStyle Channel – it helps sell homes which are languishing on the market by improving the interiors and exteriors.  

Applications must meet the following criteria: 

•    Horticultural / landscape design diploma or degree or relevant experience.
 

•    Experience in landscape design
 

•    Experience in hands on landscaping  / gardening
 

•    Must be a great communicator and team player and not be afraid to get your hands dirty on camera 
 

•    Ideally can write (part of the role will involve writing relevant articles/website pieces).
 

•    Be willing to travel from mid-May 2021 until October 2021 Australia wide. (This is close to a full time commitment which would prevent you undertaking other full time work during this period)
 

•    Be able to attend site visits (recces) and design gardens.
 

•    Must be a permanent resident or citizen of Australia.
