We are looking for an Assistant Manager from a Garden Centre or Food Retail background who is looking to be part of a unique and special Hertfordshire institution.

As Assistant Manager your responsibilities will include the following:

Working closely with centre manager to plan team tasks, staffing levels and schedules
