Life at The Barn:

At The Barn, our Plants team is built around care, knowledge, and a genuine love of what we do.

We’re looking for someone who brings strong horticultural experience, alongside a positive and approachable attitude that will help strengthen and enhance the team.

The Role:

Working closely with our Plants Team Manager, you’ll help with the day-to-day running of the department and step in to support and guide the team when needed.

A genuine team player who helps create a supportive and positive working environment
Organised, reliable, and able to work well in a busy, fast-moving setting
Physically fit and happy with active, outdoor work in all weather

Working at The Barn:

We are an independent, family-run business with a welcoming team and a strong sense of pride in what we do. The people here matter just as much as the plants, and we’re proud of the friendly, supportive culture we’ve built.

We offer:
