A career at the RHS is alive with possibilities. In fact, we have opportunities for talented people in a wide range of business areas, from horticulture, science, marketing and PR, retail and catering, IT, fundraising, education and community outreach and a whole lot more. Our recruitment approach simple – to employ the best people to make the most of those possibilities.

Our open and honest recruitment process means that if you reflect our behaviours and the requirements of the role, you’ll have an equal opportunity to succeed. As an inclusive employer, we welcome people from all backgrounds, and we’re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk.

If you’re an external candidate, you’ll find our latest opportunities in the current vacancies section of our website. If you’re interested in a role, you can apply via the ‘Apply online’ button featured on each role.

We generally don’t have closing dates for vacancies; even when there is a closing date, we generally review applications as soon as we receive them. Please apply for any job that interests you straight away.

If you currently work at the RHS, please go to your MyRHS account on the intranet and follow the instructions on how to apply from there.

Your first interview is an opportunity for us to get to know you better and your chance to learn more about the RHS and the role you’ve applied for. Depending on the role, your first interview will be either online or face-to-face. As well as meeting the hiring manager or people from the team, you may also meet someone from another part of the business.

To help you prepare we might send you some questions in advance, which may be around some of the role’s required competencies. If we want you to prepare anything specific, we’ll also give you plenty of notice. For some roles, such as for students and apprentices, we may hold assessment activities as part of the selection process.

After the interviews and assessments, the hiring manager will select the candidate who can perform the role to the expected standard, and offer them the job. If that’s you, we’ll call you to let you know. We’ll follow this up with an email within 48 hours, including a formal offer, a contract of employment and the relevant onboarding documents.

We want you to have the best possible recruitment experience, regardless of the outcome. If we invite you to an interview and you’re not selected, we’ll let you know either verbally or by email. If you’d like specifics about why you haven’t been successful, we’ll try to give you feedback, but we can’t always guarantee this will be possible.
