Plant Nursery Supervisor

2 months ago

East of England, United Kingdom Horizon Search & Selection Full time
We have an exciting opportunity for a Plant Nursery Supervisor/Assistant Manager to join our client near Woodbridge in Suffolk. This full-time, permanent, employed role comes with role progression into the post of Nursery Manager over time.
This special role is offering a salary which is negotiable depending on relevant skills and experience. It would suit a confident person who is passionate about plants, and knowledgeable about growing.
The Company
Our client is a well-established business, boasting one of the largest ranges of hardy nursery stock in the country as well as having an extensive botanic collection. They are specialist growers of a large range of rare and unusual plants and are located on a 30 acre plus site with a workforce of around 15. Our client is committed to growing genuine English grown and English provenance native trees and hedging and have a fantastic reputation within their industry.
The Job
This role has arisen due to internal promotion and itself comes with a set progression ultimately into a Nursery Manager role. Beginning in the Nursery Supervisor position, you’ll relish the challenge of getting to grips with the workload, understanding the plant collection, team and business model before stepping up into a management role.
You’ll be responsible for motivating, organising and leading a small team of six within the growing department. The scope of the role will include:
* With the support of both the Operations Manager & Managing Director, assist in fulfilling the nursery growing & production plans
* Supervising the growing team whilst they carry out their range of duties growing quality plants.
* Ensure records are maintained and our database is updated
* Participate in regular stock control processes
* Be hands on where required and coach & mentor your team to produce quality plants.
* Responsibilities will initially be set and agreed but we would like a relationship where you can contribute your own ideas and be happy to work on your own initiative
* Demonstrate an enthusiasm for a wide range of plants. You will also need to be willing to increase that knowledge, including being comfortable learning Botanic plant names.
Requirements
We welcome candidates to apply who have a strong horticultural background, no matter what level they have worked at. You may not come from a plant nursery background but will have transferable skills which suit the post. Full and ongoing training & development will be given.
Ideally, you will possess a basic horticultural qualification such as spray certificate PA1 & PA6. Experience of growing hardy nursery stock, ideally but most importantly – a passion for propagating plants and a good background in organising and motivating a team.
Great interpersonal communication skills are also essential, as is the willingness to work outside in a range of weather conditions in a physically demanding role. You’ll need to be a very strong team player who is able to lead by example and show a flexible, adaptable nature.
In Return
This is a rare, fantastic opportunity to join a well-regarded nursery in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. It is a role that is literally all about growing, plants and your own development into the Nursery Manager role, which will attract a highly competitive salary. You’ll have the chance to work for a friendly, supportive business surrounded by passionate plant people where you will extend your own plant knowledge.
The salary for the Plant Nursery Supervisor/Assistant Manager role is negotiable depending on relevant skills and experience. There is also a performance related bonus, paid three times a year.
