Vacancy - Shop Team
Thank you for your interest in working at Riverside Garden Centre. When we need to recruit staff – including those in our Shop and Café - we generally advertise them on our website, social media and via posters in our shop. Please note that because we are open seven days a week, all our staff work on a rota basis which involves alternative weekends.
We are hiring!
Please note, we will be advertising for seasonal positions with our Outside Plants team in January.
