Plant Area Manager
Hours: 40 hours/week (Alternate weekends)
Location: Worcester

Part of one of the UK's largest garden centre groups, this multi-department site sits within a broader retail destination, surrounded by coffee shops and high-street brands, while remaining a standalone garden centre in its own right.

This vacancy has come about due to an internal promotion, with progression and development being areas the business is well known for.

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
