Nursery Hand
Ready to get your hands dirty and be a part of something amazing? Join our team at Haars Nursery!
Are you after a role that keeps you moving (say goodbye to that gym membership!) and surrounds you with plants every day? Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or can’t tell a succulent from a seedling – no worries! We’ll teach you everything you need to know.
But let’s be real – if you’re chasing glamour, this probably isn’t the job for you. You’ll be working indoors and outdoors, hands-on with plants, in all weather conditions – rain, hail, or shine. It’s physical, fast-paced, and yes, you’ll likely end up dirty and sweaty. But if that sounds like your kind of day, we’d love to have you on our team!
If you have Propagation experience, enjoy hands-on mechanical work such as Potting, or would like to take on more responsibility as an Area Leader, this is for you too!
You’ll be in the heart of it all, working indoors and outdoors, hands-on with our stunning plants across both our Lyndhurst and Somerville sites.
Key Responsibilities
- Lifting and shifting stock around the nursery
- Potting baby plants into their new homes
- Picking and packing customer orders
- Sowing seeds
- Watering and spraying (once trained)
- Cleaning, labelling, and learning about pest & disease
- And more! (there’s always something to do and something new to learn)
Why You’ll Love Working with Us
- Full training provided
- Potential path to full-time
- Stay active
- Supportive and fun team
- Work variety
- EAP Assist Program.
What We Need From You
- You’re physically fit – It’s pretty fast paced here, and you’ll be on your feet for long periods of time where tasks involve undertaking repetitive muscular movements. Ability to lift weight regularly throughout the day.
- You’re reliable, hardworking, and eager to learn.
- You’ve got great attention to detail and take pride in what you do.
- You enjoy working in a diverse, friendly team.
- You’re happy to travel between our Lyndhurst and Somerville sites as needed, so your own car and license is essential.
