Ready to be part of developing a brand-new nursery?

Looking for something with variety?

This hardy-ornamental horticulture business is going from strength to strength and their next chapter is all about growth - literally and figuratively. Having recently moved to a new, bigger site they're ready to grow to their full potential. So, if you're excited by the idea of shaping the future of a business while surrounded by incredible trees, this could be the role for you.

What's the job?

You'll be joining the business at the start of their new venture.

They're an established business, currently working with UK and European suppliers selling directly to customers. Most of their stock is traded, spending short lengths of time on the nursery. Their new plans will see them growing on their own stock, and you'll play an integral part of this.

You'll be the driving force behind plant quality and health from the moment they arrive to when they leave.

This hands-on role will see you managing everything from plant health and biosecurity to training staff and supporting the development of the site and processes.

While you won't have direct reports, you'll work closely with an enthusiastic operations team of 5 and help build their knowledge so they can support on the nursery.

You'll be reporting into the MD, who is an incredibly experienced and passionate individual, who's happy to pass on knowledge and support your development.

One day, you might be crop walking and managing pest and disease, the next you might be talking to suppliers and training the team, the next you could be implementing site expansion plans.

No two days will be the same!

What do I need?

We're after someone who lives and breathes horticulture, ideally with experience in hardy ornamentals.

You'll be hands-on, proactive, and excited about the chance to grow with us.

You might come from a growing background, you might be from a garden centre, or working in tree planting. Either way, if you're keen to learn, we want to hear from you.
