Contract type: Fixed term contract (FTC) – until Feb 2027 Overview of the Role: To work for the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is to join a thriving charity, whose mission is to inspire everyone to grow. Everything we do is built on the transformational power of gardening – and the benefits it brings to people, places, and our planet. Known globally for our inspirational Shows and five spectacular Gardens, our work extends to leading ground-breaking climate research, running community outreach programmes, and setting the standards in horticultural education. And we could not do this without our people. We are proud of the knowledge, enthusiasm, and ideas that each one of our team members brings. From working across our social media channels, to volunteering in the RHS Gardens, from serving customers in our garden centres to running national marketing campaigns, we believe that every member of the RHS team should have the opportunity to make a difference. This is a general horticulturist role where you will get to work in areas including the Winter Garden, Courtyard gardens, Birch Grove, Clover Hill, Vegetable Garden, Australian and New Zealand Garden and Nursery, learning a huge range of skills along the way. Situated just outside the city of Chelmsford, Hyde Hall champions water efficiency and is home to the iconic Dry Garden, Winter Garden and Global Growth vegetable Garden. If you have creative flair and a passion for gardening, come and join our team of qualified Horticulturists. You will need to be a good team player and someone with energy and drive.
