Seeding Supervisor

Location: North Yorkshire
Salary: Circa £30,000
Hours: 39 hours per week (up to 5.5 days during peak periods)
Contract: Permanent
Start: ASAP

We're working with a well-established horticultural business that is looking to appoint a Seeding Supervisor to join their production team.

This is a key position within the operation - everything produced on site begins in this department, so enthusiasm, reliability, and a genuine passion for horticulture are far more important than extensive supervisory experience.

The Role

You'll support and oversee the day-to-day running of the seeding department, ensuring production runs smoothly and to a high standard.

Key responsibilities include:

• Assisting with and overseeing seeding and propagation activities
• Supporting the operation of seeding machinery and production lines
• Taking responsibility for up to 4 seeding lines
• Helping to coordinate and support a small team of 3 staff members
• Ensuring quality, consistency, and attention to detail in all output

About You

• Experience in a growing, nursery, or horticultural environment
• A genuine interest and passion for plants and horticulture
• Comfortable working in a practical, hands-on role
• Some experience supporting or guiding others is beneficial, but not essential
• Willingness to learn the technical side of the operation

What's on Offer

• Salary around £30,000, depending on experience
• 39-hour working week, with additional days during peak periods
• Opportunity to step into a supervisory role within a core department
• Training and support provided to build technical and leadership skills

This role would suit someone currently working in horticulture who is keen to take on more responsibility and progress within a production environment, without needing formal management experience from day one.

If this sounds like the right fit for you, I'd be keen to have a conversation. For more details, contact Stanley at MorePeople on 01780 480530 or email stanley@morepeople.co.uk
