The Person
Anyone else noticed? It’s getting lighter every evening. Spring is just around the corner and you’re probably in the early stages of planning what your own garden is going to look like in the coming months. It’s an exciting time of year. Wouldn’t it be great if that was your job and not just your hobby?
To be successful in this role, you’ll be a gardener yourself; your customers will rely on you for information and you’ll want to spend your days helping them by offering your knowledgeable and professional advice. You’ll be comfortable working with people, retail is a people job after all, and you’ll want to share your knowledge with your team, helping them be better at their job.
The Role
The job has a lot going for it but is all about working with a company that shares your passion. You’ll get full training and plenty of ongoing support but the plant area will be yours to run and you'll have plenty of freedom to make decisions on the range, working with some suppliers and growers. You'll also lead and develop a small team of like-minded individuals who'll benefit from your plant knowledge. That's something to get your teeth into and something you could look back on with real pride. On top of that, it pays well, the hours are pretty social and, while weekend working goes with territory, you’ll have every other weekend off.
The Company
Winners of several prestigious industry awards in 2024, they're a household name in the area, they've been doing what they've been doing for a long time but are always open to new ideas and ways to grow and improve. They're well known and very well respected, financially rock-solid and looking to the future with plenty of optimism.
