The Council's shrub and tree nursery located at Harewood is responsible for the seed collection, propagation and production of the vast majority of plants required to support the Council's capital and maintenance programmes within the city's greenspaces.
We need a talented and enthusiastic specialist to join the Nursery Production team and make sure the successful operation of the commercial nursery continues effortlessly, and is timely and efficient.
As your professional experience is from a nursery background you'll have skills in identifying, propagating and growing plants at a commercial scale, and will be excited at the opportunity to join a team that supplies for ecological plantings and also produces a range of exotic species.
This position will predominantly be involved in the propagation of shrubs and trees by cuttings and seedlings. We collect our own seed and cuttings for all of our native species, to make sure that the natural gene-pool is preserved. You'll have an understanding that the nature of this work means we make sure that ecologically we always try to grow from the most natural and local source to maintain genetically based variations.
We expect to grow all species and grades to a high standard to enable our plantings to have the best start and you'll achieve this by using best horticultural practices along with the use of agrichemicals where necessary. We're looking for someone with extensive nursery experience especially in hardy outdoor species.
In return, we offer a huge variety in the work and plant life that you'll be exposed to. We're a small, supportive team where everyone gets stuck in and works together.
We know you have a love for providing quality vegetation for use in our beautiful city and enjoy a mix of an indoor and outdoor work environment. There is a busy schedule and sometimes physical workload that varies from job to job but is highly rewarding.
