Location: Rural Worcester

Contract: Permanent

Hours: Full-Time, 40 hours per week (Monday to Friday, with some weekend work required during peak season)

Salary: 26-28k per annum (Depending on Experience)

Are you a passionate horticulturist or agricultural professional with a deep interest in native British flora? Do you have a keen interest in sustainable cultivation and want to work hands-on with a diverse range of native wildflowers?

We are looking for a dedicated and green-fingered individual to join a small, dynamic team based in the beautiful countryside near Worcester. This is a highly practical role offering variety, technical challenge, and the chance to work closely with nature's cycles. 

What will your day-to-day duties be?

Wildflower Production: Managing fieldwork, sowing, seed cleaning, and executing the harvesting cycle.
	
Cultivation Strategy: Problem-solving and developing new, effective cultivation techniques for specific native plant species.
	
Machinery & Equipment: Safely operating and maintaining specialised farm and horticultural machinery.
	
Seasonal Adaptation: Remaining agile and adapting to short, weather-dependent harvesting windows.
	
Workflow Management: Organising daily tasks methodically to maximise field productivity.

What skills and experience are required?

Horticultural/Arable Knowledge: A strong understanding of plant cultivation, agricultural practices, or commercial horticulture is a huge advantage
	
Botanical Curiosity: A problem-solving mindset with a genuine interest in understanding how native species propagate and thrive.
	
Machinery Experience: Confident using farm machinery. Experience with GPS RTK steering is a massive plus, though a willingness to learn is acceptable.
	
Methodical Approach: A highly systematic worker where attention to detail is second nature.
	
Licences: A full UK driving licence is essential for this role.
	
IT Literacy: Comfortable using standard Microsoft packages for logging data and planning.
	
Spraying Certificates: PA1, PA2 & PA6 certificates are highly advantageous, though training can be provided for the right person.

🌿 What’s on offer?

The opportunity to work with and learn about a fascinating variety of wildflower species.
	
A place within a growing, passionate team dedicated to conservation and biodiversity.
	
Valuable, hands-on experience in sustainable horticulture and seed production.
	
A stunning, rural outdoor working environment.

If you have the horticultural skills and the passion to help enhance local biodiversity, we want to hear from you!
