Nursery Manager

Essex

DOE + Accommodation

Ready to lead a nursery with strong foundations already in place? Looking for a role where you can combine technical growing knowledge with leadership?

This is a rare opportunity to join an established commercial nursery and help shape its next chapter.

You'll inherit an experienced management team, a knowledgeable workforce and 15 acres of y glasshouse production.

This role is about building on what's already working well and helping the business continue to move forward.

What's on Offer?

Competitive salary
Accommodation available
Opportunity to shape the future of the nursery
Long-term career opportunity within a stable business
Support from Directors and experienced department managers

What's the Job?

You'll take overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the nursery, working closely with department managers across growing, propagation, production, sales and logistics.

Day to day, you'll be:

Leading and supporting the nursery management team
Working with Directors to deliver business objectives
Coordinating departments to ensure smooth nursery operations
Reviewing performance, productivity and KPIs
Supporting managers with resource planning and team development
Driving continuous improvement across the nursery
Maintaining high standards of crop quality and customer service
Helping shape the long-term direction of the business

While this is a management role, you'll still need to understand growing and be comfortable discussing crop issues, biological controls and production challenges with the team.

What do I need?

Strong commercial nursery experience
Technical growing knowledge and commercial crop production experience
Previous management or leadership experience
Ability to lead managers and develop teams
Good organisational and communication skills
Commercial awareness and a practical approach
A genuine passion for horticulture

You might already be a Nursery Manager, or perhaps you're a senior grower or growing manager ready for a bigger challenge. Either way, we'd love to hear from you.

What's Next?

For an informal chat, please call Sarah on (phone number removed), email (url removed), or message me on LinkedIn.

Don't worry if your CV isn't up to date - just send what you have, and we'll take it from there.
