£28,000-£32,000
A commercial soft fruit business is looking for a hands-on Grower Assistant to support day-to-day crop production across strawberries, raspberries and blueberries grown under glass and polytunnel.

The role will involve:
* Day-to-day crop husbandry and plant care
* Monitoring crop health and soil moisture
* Assisting with irrigation and feeding programmes
* Mixing and applying pest and disease treatments (if qualified)
* Crop walks, reporting issues and maintaining high standards
* Weekend work as part of a rota during peak periods
What we're looking for:
1. Agricultural or horticultural experience (soft fruit ideal, not essential)
