Job description

Grower Team LeaderHertfordshire | Full-time | Permanent | £30,900 - £34,100

Do you have a passion for plants and people?We're on the lookout for an enthusiastic Grower Team Leader to join one of the UK's leading ornamental plant growers. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll guide a dedicated team, support crop production, and play a key part in ensuring plants thrive and reach customers in top condition.

If you're ready to combine your horticultural know-how with team management skills, this could be the perfect next step in your growing career.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and motivating a team of growers and operatives to hit targets
• Getting involved in planning and managing daily nursery operations
• Monitoring crop health - spotting pests, diseases, and irrigation needs early
• Supporting with plant protection programmes and stock movements
• Assisting with customer orders, ensuring plants are picked, packed, and delivered to the highest standards
• Keeping accurate records and ensuring smooth processes across the nursery

This is a role where no two days are the same, one moment you'll be crop walking, the next you'll be hands-on with stock movements, and then supporting the team to deliver orders on time.

What We're Looking For

• Previous horticultural or nursery experience (ornamentals ideal, but not essential)
• Strong leadership skills - you can inspire, motivate, and support a team
• A keen eye for detail when it comes to plant health and quality
• Organised and adaptable, with the ability to juggle priorities in a busy nursery environment
• Knowledge of plant protection products (PA1/PA6 is an advantage, but training can be given)
• Someone who enjoys working outdoors and getting stuck in alongside their team

Why You'll Love This Role

• Join one of the UK's most established commercial nurseries
• A chance to lead your own team while still being hands-on with the crops
• Varied work in a supportive and collaborative environment
• Real opportunities for training, growth, and career progression
• Competitive salary and benefits package
