Plant Area Manager
Job description
Plant Area Manager | Dorset
Salary: DOE
Are you an experienced Plant Area professional looking for the next step in your career?
Or a retail manager with strong professional horticultural knowledge ready to move into a more specialist, hands-on environment?
If you know you're capable of more but haven't been given the opportunity to show it, this could be the role that changes that.
What Will I Be Doing?
This isn't your standard Plant Area Manager role-no two days are the same.
You will help lead the outdoor plant area, taking responsibility for:
- Planning, supervising, and supporting the team in the daily running of the plant area
- Ensuring stock is well-presented, correctly priced, and replenished efficiently
- Creating engaging, commercial displays that drive sales and enhance customer experience
- Maintaining high horticultural and visual merchandising standards
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys a blend of horticulture, retail operations, and team leadership.
Who Will I Be Working For?
A close-knit, family-run garden centre group known for their outstanding reputation and high-quality stock.
They pride themselves on employee development and have grown through investing in their people and continuously improving every area of the business.
If you're looking for a supportive environment where your ideas matter and your progression is taken seriously, you'll feel right at home.
About You
- Experience working as a manager in a plant area within a garden centre
- OR retail management experience combined with strong horticultural knowledge in a professional environment
- A passion for plants, customer service, and commercial standards
- The drive to take on more responsibility and develop your career
