The Botanic Garden thrives on the many skills its staff has to offer from front-of-house, people-facing talents to accountancy skills to expert horticulture and plant knowledge skills, and education.
New vacancies will be shown on this page and advertised on the University Job Opportunities webpages.
We are committed to offering high-quality horticultural training. Each year we offer six places on the Cambridge Certificate in Practical Horticulture and Plantsmanship. Many graduates of this demanding scheme have gone on to occupy prestigious positions in the horticultural industry and in gardens and botanic gardens world-wide. Applications are now closed for September 2022. See here for more details about the scheme.
In addition, secondary schools and village colleges may put forward candidates for a limited number of work placement opportunities through Connexions. These are intended for young adults in full-time education who are considering a career in horticulture.
The Botanic Garden is committed to complying with both the letter and spirit of the law with regard to diversity and employment legislation, as detailed by the University’s Human Resources Division.
