Casual Work
We are a small team at Da Barn, however, we are ever expanding. With the seasonal nature of the work we sometimes need a temporary boost to our team, particularly in the spring and summer. We are therefore interested in hearing from anyone who loves working with plants and might be interested in occasional work in Lerwick or Hillswick. Available hours will vary with the season and weather. We are open to flexible working and always pay above the government mandated levels.

As a horticultural retail assistant, you will mainly be expected to work
at our shop and plant yard based in Lerwick. Most of your work will
include serving customers in the shop. You will also be responsible for
maintaining the high standard of care that goes into our plants when
they leave the plant nursery in Hillswick. This may include, watering,
weeding and general tidying. You will be expected to have excellent
communication skills to work together with the rest of the team and to
provide the best service we can possibly manage.

Work at Da Barn, Hillswick, mainly consists of horticulture / gardening work.
Significant portions of the work will be in and around our polytunnels,
caring for the plants, planting, re-potting, watering, tidying and
labeling. In the high summer, the temperature in the tunnels can get
quite hot, but there will also be a portion of the work required outside.
Work is available year round with the amount and type of work varying
with the season.
