Gothenburg Botanical Garden
The botanical garden is a place where the diversity of the plant world is at the center. Gothenburg's botanical garden is a scientific institution with botanical research and horticultural development work at a high international level. During the garden's hundred-year history, plants have been collected on trips around the world and they are now grown in beautiful environments around the garden, in the arboretum and in the greenhouses. Our 600,000 visitors get an experience out of the ordinary that we hope will inspire interest in the diversity of the plant world and the important conservation work. The educational activities are aimed both at schools and educational actors in the form of lessons and education, as well as at the public through exhibitions, screenings and events. Gothenburg's botanical garden is one of the largest botanical gardens in Europe with its approximately 75 hectares and roughly 20,000 species from more than 130 countries. At our workplace, all employees are important parts of the whole and together we work for common goals, our working language is Swedish.
Your new work place?
It is an exciting time at Botaniska. We are just about to start building one of our biggest projects, our new greenhouses. The new greenhouses will be in the same place as the existing ones and construction will therefore take place in stages. This means that for the next few years we will be working in an evacuation environment.
We need to recruit a knowledgeable and versatile employee who can help maintain the collections and prepare them for placement in new greenhouses.
It is important that all our employees see themselves as part of the team working towards common goals. The collaboration between gardeners, botanists, educators and other professionals is fundamental for the workplace.
We strive to be a workplace that reflects the diversity of society.
We work actively to promote health and well-being.

The position involves work inside the greenhouses year round.
Managing and participating in projects within the garden and with our partners will also be part of your role, as well as daily contact with visitors and even occasional guided tours.
The garden's mission is long-term therefore changes in tasks and areas of responsibility may occur, which can provide good opportunities for development within the field.
You will be working both independently and as part of a team.
