Job description

Junior Grower
Shropshire

Have you been looking for a chance to start a career in growing, but not had the chance?

Do you want to learn, develop, and progress with a forward-thinking business?

What's the job?
Located just on the Wales border, you'll be working for a dynamic business that has invested heavily in their nursery.

You'll be working in their liner production unit, which is 4 hectares of glasshouse.

The day-to-day will see you covering all tasks to grow quality stock, including potting, optimising space, and managing pest and disease strategy.

This role will see you working closely with the wider team. You'll be talking to the stock team and sales team to make sure everyone is on the same page.

You'll have the opportunity to train, develop and learn in this role.

The business is well-known for their innovation, so you could get the opportunity to support with this. This could be in trials, technology and more.

This diverse role will give you the opportunity to see the wider business and work at the forefront of the industry whilst using your previous expertise.

What do I need?
You might have some experience working within a commercial nursery environment. You might have just finished studying horticulture (or something related) and know you want to build a career in a commercial nursery. Either way, we want to hear from you.

You don't need to be an expert in what they grow, but you will be passionate about learning and developing and want to get stuck in from day 1.

Ideally, you'll have your PA1 and PA6. It's not a problem if you don't, there will be an opportunity to get these.

Sounds Interesting, what's next?
