--- NURSERY ASSISTANT - PACKING PLANTS FOR MAIL ORDER ---
We are looking for someone to join our team for 4 to 5 days a week, from Monday to Thursday/Friday. We have both full time seasonal roles and full time permanent roles available.
WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING:
🔸 The main focus of this role is packing plants for mail order, the gathering team will have the plants gathered and checked off, you will be required to choose the appropriate packing materials and shipping method for each order and then carefully but efficiently pack the plants for shipping.
🔸 This is a very physical role, you will be on your feet all day, some parcels are very large and bulky and require flexibility and strength.
🔸 On the rare occasion that the packing team runs out of parcels to pack you will be required to do other nursery duties like gathering plants, watering etc.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
✔️ Be physically fit and strong and used to physical work.
✔️ Used to working outdoors - packing is done in a big open shed.
✔️ Have basic computer skills - delivery labels need to be created and printed.
✔️ Pay close attention to details, for example - plant naming, customers addresses etc.
✔️ Be willing to learn - packing plants for mail order is a skill that takes time to learn and we are always improving our materials and methods.
✔️ Ability to work efficiently and manage your own time.
✔️ Someone who also works really well as part of a team.
✔️ Your own transport - there is no public transport out to us unfortunately.
✔️ Plant knowledge is an advantage but not essential.
WE OFFER:
🤍 Be part of an exciting business along with a hard working, friendly and dynamic team.
🤍 Flexibility in hours and days where we can.
🤍 Cafe open Thursday to Sunday with a good staff discount.
🤍 Good staff discount on plants.
🤍 An opportunity to learn more about plants!
