Working at Vitacress
Working in Nature’s garden is a great privilege
At Vitacress, we grow the freshest, tastiest, healthiest salads, watercress and herbs – no matter what the season. We are leaders in the field. Farming, growing, packing, transporting, supplying 20 million pots and 79 million packs of fresh cut and bunched herbs and 79 million bags and 6 million bowls of salads - every year.
From seed to shelf
We own the entire retail journey. Delivering the highest service, safety and ethical standards with a deep sense of responsibility and respect for the environment around us. We also pride ourselves on growing a culture of belonging and giving back.
Without our people, none of this would be possible
1,500 people work together to grow world class fresh produce across Europe with farms in the UK, Portugal, Netherlands and Spain.
Collectively, our expert growers have over 400 years of experience between them. But we want to go further and challenge ourselves. We want to pioneer new farming methods. We want to constantly innovate for sustainable growth. We want to nurture the future of our planet. We need people who can bring a diversity of thinking to enhance our expertise and passion.

Where you can grow your skills. Where support and opportunities enable you to flourish. We are one team with a shared vision: to grow ourselves, our business and leave things better than we found them. We work towards this together.
Thinking bigger and better everyday
Our technical teams are creative and pioneering, working closely with universities and PhD students, they're always striving to incorporate innovation and R&D.
Over time, I was given more autonomy and responsibility, taking the lead on jobs
