About the Role
We're looking for an Assistant Garden Centre Manager to join a small, well-established garden centre in Matlock. This is a key leadership role within a close-knit team, supporting the day-to-day running of the centre while helping shape its future.
Although the centre itself is relatively small, there are big plans for development. The owners have already cleared eight acres of land behind the site, creating a real opportunity for growth over the coming years. This role would suit someone who wants to be part of that journey and grow alongside the business.

Small, close-knit team of around 15 staff.
A very hands-on role where you can make a genuine impact.
Exciting long-term development plans for the site.
Opportunity to grow with the business as the centre expands.
Key Responsibilities
Support the day-to-day management of the garden centre.
Help lead, organise and motivate a team of around 15 staff.
Maintain high standards across the shop floor and customer experience.
Work closely with the Garden Centre Manager to support the centre's growth and development.
Get involved in all areas of the business in a practical, hands-on capacity.
What We're Looking For
Strong retail management experience.
A confident people manager who can support and motivate a team.
Someone proactive who enjoys getting involved across the whole operation.
Horticultural knowledge isn't essential - the right person can learn this on the job.
