Nursery Propagator Vacancy
Sheltered Work Opportunities Project is a registered charity based in Bournemouth and Poole that offers support, rehabilitation and community to adults with severe and enduring mental illness through the use of therapeutic horticulture.
A vacancy has arisen for a dynamic and enthusiastic plant propagator with proven recent experience of propagating shrubs, herbaceous and perennial plants, grasses, cuttings and seeds in a commercial setting. The role will involve the growing in excess of 150,000 plants to meet the retail and trade needs of the two sites and is based at our site in Northbourne, Bournemouth BH10.
