• A genuine passion for horticulture (plant knowledge is a big plus!)
• Proactive, hands-on approach – no two days are the same
• Confident decision-making, with great organisational skills
• Someone who thrives in a customer-focused, fast-paced environment

• Comfortable using basic systems (tills, stock management tools, spreadsheets)

What we offer:

• A competitive salary (commensurate with experience)
• 28 days holiday, increasing to 34 days with length of service
• Private medical insurance
• Performance-based bonuses
