Are you a HR professional that is happy going to work in wellies in the winter and a T-shirt in the Summer? If so, this is a great role for someone that is excited about owning and developing our client’s approach to HR…
Here employees really enjoy their work, they take pride in what they create and the service that they provide in a dynamic, client-led environment. The company takes a solutions-led approach that encourages individuals to things constructively and positively across a wide-range of often challenging demands.
This company’s workforce is growing rapidly and a new in-house HR role is needed to deliver a consistent yet flexible HR approach. This will support continued growth by nurturing and expanding this business’ most valued and valuable asset – the individuals that make it a whole.
The business is owned by the Chief Exec alongside a strong senior management team. All staff are based at the company’s main site in Berkshire; the hub of the people and the stock comprising large greenhouses, outside standing stock, polytunnels, workshops and loading yards. A team of greenspeople work the majority of their time offsite on location. Most of your time will be on site at the nursery to place you at the heart of company life.
The total workforce balances a combination of permanent, freelance and agency workers who service a client group with high expectations of creativity, flexibility and excellence.
