Working at Goldcliff
With over 30 years of experience, we are a family-run, independent destination for plant lovers. Located just outside of Lewes, we pride ourselves on our reputation for high-quality, unique plants, a wide range of terracotta, and expert advice. As we gear up for a busy Spring, we are looking for engaging people to join our close-knit team.
The Role
You won’t just be "working at a till"—you’ll be a key part of the customer journey. Your goal is to drive sales through exceptional service and advice, while ensuring the centre looks its absolute best.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Customer Experience: Greeting visitors, answering enquiries, and providing efficient service at the tills.
- Plant Care: Keeping our stock healthy and vibrant through weeding, pruning, watering, and potting.
- Merchandising: Processing new stock and creating high-standard visual displays that inspire our customers.
- Operations: Ensuring the shop and shelves remain clean, tidy, and fully replenished.
- Physical Support: This is an active role! You will regularly assist customers with heavy or bulky items like compost bags, large pots, and specimen plants.
- Deliveries: For the right candidate, there is the opportunity to be one of our delivery drivers, transporting products directly to our customers’ doorsteps.
About You
-
A People Person: You have excellent communication skills and a natural desire to help others.
-
Resilient: You enjoy the fresh air and are happy to work outdoors in all weather conditions, come rain or shine.
-
Active & Energetic: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are comfortable with the physical nature of the job (heavy lifting).
-
A Team Player: You can take the initiative when working alone but also love being part of a team.
-
Passionate: Horticultural knowledge is a huge plus, but a genuine interest in gardening and a willingness to learn are essential.
