Hydro Oasis is Northern Tasmania's destination for hydroponic equipment, rare and exotic plants, and expert advice. More than just a retail space, we're a vibrant, community-focused hub for indoor gardening.
Our mission is to break down the stigma surrounding hydroponics, show that anything can be grown hydroponically, and make sustainable, soil-free gardening accessible and inspiring. Alongside this, we celebrate the beauty of rare and exotic plants, bringing species to Tasmania that you won't find anywhere else.
This role is heavily focused on content creation, presenting, filming, and editing, combined with hands-on indoor plant care and general store support.
You'll be working independently most days, creating educational and entertaining content that reflects the Hydro Oasis mission and personality.
Content Creation (Primary Focus)
* Be the on-camera presenter for Hydro Oasis across all our social media accounts
* Film and edit:
* Care guides & tutorials
* Repotting demonstrations
* Product and nutrient spotlights
* Rare/exotic plant showcases
* Behind-the-scenes content & store updates
* Follow a content plan and independently produce polished videos without needing supervision
* Bring creative ideas for new series, formats, and trends
* Maintain a consistent brand tone, quality, and visual style
Plant Care & Store Presentation
* Look after the indoor plant displays, watering, pruning, rotating, and identifying issues early
* Keep the plant area fresh, healthy, and visually appealing
* Suggest new plants or varieties you think our community will love
* Assist with packing plant orders carefully and correctly
Customer Engagement
* Chat with customers in-store and answer basic plant questions
* Help customers select plants suited to their home environment
* Represent Hydro Oasis with warmth, enthusiasm, and confidence
Who We're Looking For
Someone who:
Loves indoor plants and understands basic plant care
Is confident, natural, and engaging on camera
Can independently film and edit both short-form and long-form content
Works well alone and takes ownership of their results
Is creative and full of ideas, yet organised and reliable
Can see the bigger picture and wants to grow with a young business
Doesn't need micromanaging and takes pride in delivering high-quality work
You do not need formal horticulture or video qualifications Passion, experience, and initiative matter most
What This Role Is Not
To avoid confusion:
✘ Not a pure nursery or horticulturist job
✘ Not a position for someone who needs constant direction
✘ Not a casual retail-filler role
✘ Not a typical hydroponics role
This is a creative, independent, content-forward position for someone who genuinely wants to be the face of a plant brand.
