Are you inspired by nature? Passionate about the environment? Concerned about climate change? Do you want to share your love of plants and increase your skillset and botanical knowledge – all whilst helping to create a world-class botanic Garden that contributes to our understanding of the natural world?
Ventnor Botanic Garden is a little different. It’s more than just a ‘garden’. It’s a collection of plantings presented as landscapes or portraits of ecosystems. We show plants as they would be seen in their native, wild environments. This is called landscape immersion. Our subtropical and exotic plant collection is unrivalled. Plants that should be found in protective glasshouses thrive and naturalise out of doors thanks to our mild climate and sheltered setting.
We are always on the lookout to expand our talented and enthusiastic team
At Ventnor Botanic Garden our Front of House Experience Team are an imperative part of providing our visitors with a fantastic day out. Nestled in the Undercliff, we boast one of the most unique Gardens in Britain and we strive to have an outstanding service to match.
We are looking for passionate, bubbly, enthusiastic, well presented, customer orientated people who are reliable and strive to provide a special experience to each and every customer.
Here at the Garden no two days are alike, it’s fantastic fun working in a busy attraction with many tasks to be completed throughout the day, so you must be willing to flex between roles, open to learning new skills and understand what it is to create a welcoming environment and altogether unforgettable experiences.
Welcoming visitors and coach parties, creating delicious coffee, engaging with our yoga and wellbeing teachers, assisting in marketing, serving in the Gift Shop or working at one of our many Events and weddings, we offer competitive rates of pay and provide full training and support. If you enjoy an interesting, varied job and think you’ve got what it takes we want to hear from you.
This is a seasonal job. You will be expected to work weekends, bank holidays and evenings/events on a rotational basis.
