Team Leader Collections, Auckland Botanic Gardens, New Zealand

Plants: your purpose, your passion.

It’s seldom that a position comes along that is tailor made for you, but if you have extensive horticultural knowledge and leadership attributes, that’s exactly what has become available at Auckland Botanic Gardens. With your expertise and passion for plants, and your ability to interact with people, you could make a very positive difference to a visitor attraction that is rapidly becoming one of Auckland’s most popular.

As a qualified horticulturist, not only will we be looking to you to ensure that horticultural displays are consistently presented to high standards, but also to create that all important connection between people and plants.

In your role as a team leader of Plant Collections you’ll not only contribute to making our gardens more aesthetically appealing, you’ll also increase the diversity of our plants, and raise the bar for horticultural excellence. You’ll lead a skilled 6-person team, working closely together towards a common goal, and generally creating a very positive dynamic. Your people skills don’t stop there, though, because you will also need to foster strong relationships with our Botanic Gardens supporters which include volunteers, gardeners and others involved in the horticultural industry.

 We’re looking for a self assured, creative and career-minded horticulturist who will harness the skills and energy of a team to deliver excellence. If you’re passionate about plants, people and your community, and like the thought of your ‘office’ being 64 hectares of paradise, we’d very much like to hear from you.
