Plant Area Manager
Hours: 40 hours/week (Alternate weekends)
Location: Worcester
This is a fantastic chance to join a top garden centre group in a centre renowned for its plant offering. The site has a unique charm - almost boutique - where quality, presentation, and care are everything. It's a tight-knit operation, very hands‑on, and a real labour‑of‑love project, making this role perfect for someone who's passionate about their plants and a strong retail manager.
Your Role:
* Take responsibility for hardy, seasonal and house plants, ensuring high standards and consistent presentation throughout
* Manage ordering, allocations, volumes, and commercial decisions to maximise sales and minimise wastage
* Lead a team of around five staff (more in peak), motivating and directing them to deliver exceptional results
* Work closely with the Centre Manager and deputise when required, supporting wider site operations
* Make strong, data-backed commercial decisions using your plant knowledge and retail experience
* Maintain an engaging, well-stocked, plant-heavy environment despite a limited indoor footprint
What We're Looking For:
* Garden centre experience, specifically within plant area manager experience
* Strong horticultural knowledge across all plant categories
* IT literate, especially in Excel
* A confident, hands‑on leadership style that gets the best out of a small team
* Commercially minded, with the ability to analyse performance and drive improvements
Perks & Benefits:
* Competitive salary - open to push the mark for outstanding candidates
* Guaranteed year‑on‑year pay rises - how much it rises depends on your performance.
* Join a respected and expanding garden centre group
* A unique, plant‑led environment with a boutique feel
* Staff discount, onsite parking, and wider company benefits
