This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced retail manager who enjoys leading people, driving sales and taking pride in a well-run, beautifully presented store.

You'll take responsibility for the indoor retail areas, working closely with the Garden Centre Manager and Plant Area Manager to ensure the whole centre delivers a great experience for customers.

  • Managing the day-to-day running of the indoor retail departments.
  • Creating attractive, inspiring product displays that encourage customers to buy.

Requirements

Love retail, great customer service and creating a shopping experience that keeps customers coming back? This could be the perfect next step in your management career.

We're looking for a hands-on retail leader who knows how to get the best out of their team and enjoys being involved in the day-to-day operation.

You'll ideally bring
