Nursery Manager
Hertfordshire
£Dependent on experience
Are you an experienced grower who thrives in a hands-on leadership role? Looking for the chance to take ownership of a well-equipped nursery site, lead a committed team and ensure exceptional plant quality across a busy production environment?
This could be the perfect next step.
What's in it for you?
Competitive package based on experience
Health Shield, pension and flexibility where needed
A modern, well-invested growing site with poly tunnels, reservoir, sub-irrigation and trial areas
A supportive Production Manager and a stable on-site team
A role focused on growing and leading people - not being stuck in the office
The Role
As Nursery Manager, you'll take full day-to-day responsibility for the site, its people, and the quality of the crops produced. You'll be the key decision-maker on the ground, ensuring plants are grown, maintained and presented to the highest standards.
Your responsibilities will include:
Leading, motivating and developing a team of full-time and seasonal staff
Managing potting, shaping, stock presentation and general crop quality
Making hands-on growing decisions across shrubs, perennials and 2L production
Planning and overseeing irrigation strategies
Monitoring crops for pests, diseases, nutrition and irrigation issues
Maintaining high standards of plant health, biosecurity and hygiene
Working with the Production Manager on rotations, space planning and seasonal schedules
Ensuring safe working practices, COSHH compliance and accurate record keeping
Supporting out-of-hours cover for irrigation and spray applications when required
This is a practical, site-based leadership role - ideal for someone who wants to be out in the nursery, not behind a desk.
About You
You'll be a great fit if you are:
Experienced in nursery production, ideally with shrubs/perennials
Confident leading teams and setting high standards
Hands-on, proactive and comfortable making independent decisions
Strong on plant health, irrigation and general growing practices
Organised, reliable and able to keep operations running smoothly
PA1/PA6 qualified (or willing to work towards it)
If you're currently a Team Leader, Supervisor or Assistant Manager ready for more responsibility, this could be a brilliant opportunity.
