Full job description

At Stewarts, we’ve been growing since 1742, and we’re just as passionate today about plants, people, and creating inspiring spaces as we were when we started. As a proudly family-run business, we believe in doing things the right way: with care, creativity, and community at the heart of everything we do.

With three characterful garden centres across Dorset and Hampshire, a dedicated nursery, and a talented landscaping team, we offer a wide range of career opportunities, from horticulture and retail to marketing, administration, hospitality, and events.

We’re now looking for a hands-on Outdoor Plants Supervisor to join our team!

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone ready to make their mark: if you’ve got solid plant knowledge, love working outdoors, and are looking to build your leadership skills, this could be your moment.

Working at the heart of our Christchurch garden centre, you’ll support the team while taking real ownership of the outdoor plant area—making sure plants are healthy, well presented, and that every customer leaves with the right advice and inspiration for their garden.

About the Role:

Key responsibilities:

Take ownership of plant care across the outdoor area, ensuring high standards of watering, feeding, pruning, and general maintenance
Maintain excellent plant health and quality, proactively managing pests, disease, and seasonal challenges
Be a go-to expert for customers—offering advice, answering queries, and making confident plant recommendations
Create attractive, seasonal displays that inspire customers and drive sales
Support and guide the team in maintaining strong plant care routines and presentation standards
Ensure all plant deliveries are checked, processed, and cared for correctly
Monitor stock levels and highlight gaps or opportunities based on seasonal demands
Uphold high standards of housekeeping, safety, and organisation within the Department
Support stocktakes and maintain accurate plant records
Communicate any plant care issues or stock concerns promptly
Support peak seasons and key trading periods
Assist with ordering
Step into Duty Manager responsibilities and act as a key holder when required

Day to Day:

Walk the plant area regularly to monitor plant health and presentation
Ensure all plants are cared for in line with best horticultural practices
Support customers with plant selection and care advice
Answer customer queries confidently, from plant suitability to aftercare
Support the team in maintaining a welcoming, well-stocked, and inspiring environment
Manage stock flow from delivery through to display
Oversee plant rotation, waste control, and markdowns
Support team development and share your plant knowledge with colleagues
Assist with rotas and general team administration where needed
Work closely with the Department Manager to meet trading demands

What We’re Looking For:

Someone who has…

Strong plant knowledge (essential) and a genuine passion for horticulture
Confidence in advising customers and making plant recommendations
Previous retail and/or horticultural experience, ideally with some leadership or supervisory exposure
Excellent communication and people skills
Excellent organisation and attention to detail
A strong understanding of plant care and seasonal trends
A good awareness of Health & Safety practices
A hands-on, positive, can-do attitude
The ability to support and guide a team
Availability to work alternate weekends

What It's Like Working at Stewarts:

A friendly supportive team
A family-run business with strong values and heritage
A varied and active role
Opportunities to grow and develop#

Benefits:

Generous staff discount scheme (following probationary period)
Free on-site parking and uniform
Additional day off to celebrate your birthday!

The Practical Details:

Contract Type: Permanent – Full Time (39 hours per week including alternative weekends)

Location: Stewarts Christchurch Garden Centre, Lyndhurst Road, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 4SA

Reports to: Department Manager

Please Note: This is a physically active role involving regular heavy lifting

Closing Date: Friday 19th June
