About Us

British Garden Centres is the UK’s largest family owned garden centre group, with 80 centres nationwide. Founded by the Stubbs family, the business has grown rapidly through significant expansion and acquisitions, evolving from its first site at Woodthorpe Garden Centre into a national brand.

The group now includes garden centres, restaurants, nurseries and distribution centres, employing more than 3,500 colleagues across the UK. Despite its scale, British Garden Centres maintains strong family values, a community focus, and a commitment to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for both customers and employees.

The Role

We are looking for enthusiastic and customer focused Garden Centre Team Members to join our friendly team at British Garden Centres. You’ll be at the heart of our daily operations — helping customers, supporting colleagues, and ensuring the Centre always looks welcoming and well presented.

You’ll need to be flexible and able to work additional hours during the week when required. If you enjoy working with plants, being outdoors, and being part of a hands on team, this is the perfect role for you. The work is varied, active, and a mix of dextrous tasks and physical activity, ideal for someone who likes to stay busy.

This is a customer facing role across various departments, where you’ll learn our EPOS systems, support with placing orders alongside our reps, and help with general merchandising and housekeeping to keep the Centre looking great.

• Stock Replenishment — Replenish stock and maintain tidy, organised shop floor areas.
• Plant Care — Assist with watering, caring for, and maintaining plant stock.
• Customer Assistance to Cars — Help customers take items to their cars when needed.

• Willingness to Learn — Keen to learn new skills, including EPOS and product knowledge.
• Team Player — Works well as part of a supportive, hands on team.
• Customer Service — Passionate about delivering a great customer experience.
