• Monitor plant health, identifying signs of pests or disease and reporting or taking appropriate action.
• Support stock management by tracking inventory, replenishing stock, and rotating plants.
• Load and unload deliveries and help prepare customer orders for dispatch.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organised working environment.

Requirements:

• A genuine interest in horticulture, plants, or gardening, with a willingness to learn.
• Your own reliable method of transport due to the rural location.
• A strong work ethic and the ability to carry out physically demanding tasks, including lifting and carrying heavy items.
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a team in a busy outdoor environment.
• Previous experience in horticulture, landscaping, or a similar role is beneficial but not essential, as full training will be provided.

Hours & Pay:

• Monday to Friday
• 7:30am - 4:30pm
• 12.71 per hour
