An excellent opportunity has arisen for a hands‑on Team Leader to join a growing horticultural business with a strong focus on quality and service. This role is ideal for someone looking to step beyond a typical supervisory position and develop into a broader operational role over time.

You will begin by leading from the front on-site, ensuring high standards are met and supporting your team day to day. As you develop, you will gradually take on more responsibility across planning, client interaction, and overall operations, becoming a key part of how the business runs.

This is a long‑term opportunity offering real progression within a supportive and ambitious environment.

  • £30-32k, dependent on experience
  • 5-hour working week
  • Company van (yard‑based use)
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Clear pathway into a more senior operational role
  • Opportunity to take on increased responsibility as you progress
  • Stable, long‑term opportunity within a growing business

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and support garden maintenance teams on‑site
  • Deliver work to a consistently high standard
  • Carry out a wide range of practical maintenance tasks
  • Use tools and equipment safely and effectively
  • Support and mentor team members
  • Assist with planning and organising daily workloads
  • Begin to support site visits, client communication, and quoting
  • Contribute to improving processes, efficiency and team performance

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in a practical, outdoor or trade‑based role
  • Confident using tools and equipment
  • Strong work ethic and reliability
  • Natural leadership ability or supervisory experience
  • Good communication and organisational skills
  • Motivated to grow into a more senior role over time
  • Horticulture experience is beneficial but not essential
