Do you have a green thumb and a passion for helping others grow? At Mitre 10, we dig gardening just as much as our customers do – and now we’re on the lookout for an energetic Garden Centre Team Leader to join our Henderson store team!
As New Zealand’s leading gardening retailer, we’re all about helping Kiwis get the most out of their backyards. From veggies and flowers to wheelbarrows and worm farms – our Garden Centre is a vibrant, buzzing hub of activity, and we need a team leader who can keep the energy blooming.
About the Role:
You'll support the Garden Centre Manager by leading from the front – inspiring and guiding your team, sharing your plant knowledge, and ensuring every customer leaves with the right advice and the right product.
Whether you're recommending the perfect native shrub or helping load a bag of compost, you’ll be the go-to guru our customers trust. Think fast-paced, hands-on, and full of variety – no two days are the same!
What We’re Looking For:
You’re not just a plant lover – you’re a people person, a problem solver, and a proven team leader. You'll bring:
- A deep-rooted love for plants and gardening (3+ years Garden Centre or Landscaping experience)
- Strong leadership skills with previous experience supervising teams
- Top-tier customer service skills – friendly, helpful, and confident
- A relevant horticulture or landscaping qualification
- Physically fit and ready to roll up your sleeves
- Great time management and a team-first attitude
- Comfortable navigating modern technology and utilising handheld mobile devices to assist with inventory management
Why You’ll Love Working Here:
At Mitre 10, we believe in growing careers as well as gardens. You’ll be part of a passionate, supportive team in a business that truly values its people. Plus, you’ll work in a green, vibrant space where your skills and enthusiasm make a real difference every day.
