Writing a CV and ive got a random one off the internet to get a basic idea (ages since ive done one)
But what do I write in the profile bit if I havent got much work experience at all in the job im going for? But I can do the actual job... can give more details if need be?
For example...
PROFILE:
A Senior Quality Assurance Technician with a wide range of experience in the food industry. Able to work on own initiative and as part of a team. Proven leadership skills involving managing, developing and motivating teams to achieve their objectives. First-class analytical, design and problem solving skills. Dedicated to maintaining high quality standards.

Also doesnt the work history usually have to be relevant to the job? Or can I just put down the jobs ive done?
P.S. Its my uncles company and ive got a foot in the door already hence why im going for the job, but he is in partnership and cant just give me the job on a plate, I have to go about it properly

In my last job I was an "Environmental Warden", or... a Gardener/Driver
How can I make cutting grass, general gardening, clearing entries and removing graffiti etc sound good??

I wouldn't put that in. Only put in relevant information.
Think about the poor fecker having to read 300 CV's. If you fill it with loads of pointless information which doesn't really matter to the job, they'll get bored.

Depends if that is the only skills you have. If so i'd put it down, if not, i'd just put it under previous employment.

Deffo put it in. Employers can then see what you have been doing for that period of time. If you have blank spaces, they will question that, possibly by putting your CV straight in the bin if they have a lot of applicants.
