Horticultural Manager - Garden Centre

Horticultural Manager | North Manchester

Salary : £32,000 - £34,000

Hours : 36.25 hours, Alternate Weekends

We're working with a well-respected family-owned garden centre business in Manchester to find a Horticultural Manager for their 4,000 square foot, thriving plant area. If you love horticulture, have a creative flair, and experience with buying, then this position could be a great opportunity for you to join a great local business that likes to maintain its family feel.

You'd be running the Plant Area at their flagship site, managing a team of 6 and making sure that the plant stock is well-maintained and looking fresh… and might find yourself taking a buying trip to sunny Italy from time to time!

This site likes to go big at Christmas, so in winter you'll find yourself immersed in their Santa's grotto, selling Christmas trees, and having a level of flexibility to help in this busy period.

Main Responsibilities:

• Take autonomy of the plant area
• Managing stock control
• Buying and Ordering plant stock
• Leading and directing a team
• Focus on developing the team
• Delivering excellent customer service
• Maintaining high standards of merchandising and plant care

About you:

• Horticultural knowledge or experience is required
• A genuine passion for plants
• A love for customer service
• Confident working in a hands-on environment
• Proactive attitude

Benefits:

• Performance-related Christmas bonus
• Overtime pay in peak periods
• Statutory holiday allowance
• Free parking
