Job Description
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 (phone number removed) or email (url removed)
