Nursery Assistant
Hillier Nurseries Ltd, a prestigious family business with over 150 years of history in the arboriculture industry, is looking for a Nursery Assistant to join our team in the Landscape Cash & Carry division at Brentry based near Romsey, Hampshire.
At Hillier, we pride ourselves on our heritage and commitment to excellence. As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to our legacy and grow your career in a supportive and nurturing environment.
We are looking for an individual who is an excellent team player with strong organisational and communication skills, a willingness to learn, and a positive work ethic. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, reliable, and able to demonstrate initiative and flexibility, while working confidently as part of a team.
The role requires working outdoors in all weather conditions, so a genuine enjoyment of outdoor work is essential (PPE will be provided). While previous experience in a similar role would be beneficial, full training will be provided for the right candidate. The physical nature of the role means the post holder must be comfortable with manual handling, lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods.
