Team Leader - Horticulture

Do you have the passion and leadership to help plants - and people - thrive?

We're looking for a Team Leader to play a key role in the day-to-day running of our busy production nursery. This is a hands-on opportunity to combine your horticultural knowledge with the chance to inspire and guide a team-ensuring our crops are grown to the highest standards and our customers receive plants of outstanding quality.

What you'll be doing:
  • Leading and motivating your team across a variety of nursery tasks - from feeding and maintenance through to picking, packing, and despatch.

  • Monitoring crop health and acting quickly on issues such as pests, diseases, and irrigation needs.

  • Working alongside managers to plan production areas and keep operations running smoothly.

  • Promoting and enforcing safe working practices in line with OH&S standards and nursery protocols.

  • Upholding plant health and biosecurity measures to protect stock, customers, and reputation.

  • Supporting colleagues to develop their skills and fostering a culture of quality, care, and collaboration.

What we're looking for:
  • Proven supervisory or leadership experience (horticultural experience is highly desirable).

  • Strong organisational skills with attention to detail.

  • A motivated, approachable leader who can nurture both plants and people.

  • A commitment to quality, safety, plant health, and excellent customer service.

Why join us?

This is more than just a leadership role-it's an opportunity to:

  • Guide a dedicated team and make a real impact.

  • Grow your own skills in horticulture and team management.

  • Play a central part in the smooth running of a nursery that thrives on collaboration, high standards, plant health, and international trade.
