Vacancy at Kevock
« on: January 12, 2010, 01:35:50 PM »
Maggi remove this if you think this shouldnt be here

From Stella Rankin:

In 2010 some staff changes at Kevock Garden Plants will give us a great opportunity to restructure. We are now looking for ‘the right person’ to join our team in a managerial role.

Since it needs to be a very special person we are asking for your assistance. We realise that our mailing list has a phenomenal range and the person we want is probably either reading this email or is known to one of you! The two key features we are looking for is a passion for plants, particularly alpine, bog and woodland, and a real desire to run a commercial nursery. Are you that person or do you know anyone who might be? Please forward this to anyone who might be interested.  

Kevock is a beautiful place to work in – a green valley by a river, but only 5 miles from the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland.  There is a fascinating range of plants and an experienced and enthusiastic team, with exciting opportunities ahead, including exhibiting at Chelsea in 2011.

 details can  be found on
http://www.kevockgarden.co.uk/vacancies.htm.The web site gives a good impression of the nursery, the plants, the garden and the show displays.  We are completely open-minded and are prepared to consider unconventional applications.  We are very interested in career changers. There is no hurry to appoint as we have an excellent team here at the moment and we are prepared to wait for the right person.

Its enough to make me consider very seriously a change away from my current accountancy career.  However, I find that it is sufficiently exciting at present given the looming 31 January deadline for submission of UK Self assessment Tax Returns !
