Job advert rates



We are able to post job advertisements via our weekly e-newsletter. The newsletter is sent out to PlantNetwork members every Thursday afternoon. Our e-newsletter is sent to over 500 gardens and individuals representing over 1500 horticultural staff.

We do not place publicly viewable adverts on our website.

PlantNetwork recruitment notices:

We place a large advert of about 300 words in the e-newsletter of your choice. The specific requirements for each large advert are described below, together with the cost.

We also include a shorter advert in each newsletter between the appearance of the large advert and the closing date for the advertised post. There is currently no additional cost for the shorter advert but a large initial advert is first required.

What we require:

  • Job title and location
  • Job description (300 words max.)
  • Salary – PlantNetwork supports the Professional Gardeners’ Guild salary guidelines.
  • Details of application process
  • Closing date

Text for the shorter adverts will be developed from the large advert. The format for the shorter posting is:

>Name of role, location. Salary and contract details (f/t or p/t, permanent or fixed term etc.). Closing date. Application process if not online. More information and application hyperlink.

Costs:

  • Members (institutional membership required) £140 per role; non-members £265 per role (no VAT)
  • Invoices can be paid by BACS transfer, cheque or online payment.

We will then be offering volume discounts following the below pricing structure:

2-5 job Adverts: 5% discount off total cost
6 -10 Adverts: 10% discount off total cost
11-20 Adverts: 20% discount off total cost

Please email your advert to recruitment@plantnetwork.org by 5pm on Wednesday for inclusion in that week’s newsletter. Mercy or Emma will be in touch to confirm receipt and posting.

We are not a recruitment agency and so cannot guarantee that advertising with us will lead to the recruitment of your ideal candidate. If you are unable to recruit a suitable candidate through one of our adverts, we are happy to re-advertise* the post FREE of charge. Please get in touch with us if you would like to re-advertise* any roles you have previously advertised with PlantNetwork. Terms and conditions apply*.

*We are only able to re-advertise a role for free if we are contacted within four weeks of the original deadline. After this time, it will be considered a new advert/role.
