Experienced Florist Wanted – Unique London-Based Role

Vanta Staffing is recruiting an experienced Florist for a unique and varied position combining professional floristry with visiting prestigious client locations across London to refresh and maintain floral displays.

Previous professional floristry experience is essential for this position.

This is not simply a delivery-driving role. We are looking for someone with genuine floristry skills who understands how to create, maintain and present beautiful floral arrangements to a high standard.

Approximately three days per week will involve driving a company van into London, visiting a variety of high-end establishments to deliver, refresh and maintain their floral displays.

The remaining days will generally be spent at the company's Burnham base, preparing flowers, arrangements and displays ready for client sites.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

Creating and preparing professional floral arrangements and displays

Refreshing and maintaining existing floral displays at client locations

Removing and replacing flowers to ensure displays remain fresh and beautifully presented

Driving a company van between Burnham and client sites across London

Delivering flowers, plants, arrangements and associated equipment

Loading and unloading the van

Working within high-end client environments and representing the business professionally

Liaising politely and professionally with clients while on site

Maintaining excellent presentation standards at all times

Keeping the van, equipment and working areas clean and organised

Assisting with general hands-on duties at the Burnham base when required

About You

To be considered, you will need:

Previous professional floristry experience – essential

A good knowledge of flowers, plants and floral arrangement

A creative eye and excellent attention to detail

A full UK driving licence

Confidence driving a van in and around London

A smart, well-presented and professional manner

Excellent reliability and timekeeping

The ability to work independently and manage your workload

A friendly and professional approach when dealing with clients

Good physical fitness, as the role involves regular loading, unloading, carrying and moving floral displays

Flexibility and a willingness to get stuck in –

this is a hands-on role and can be physically demanding

The ability to start work at 5:00am

Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced florist who would like something different from a traditional shop-based floristry position.

You'll have the opportunity to work with beautiful flowers and displays while visiting a range of prestigious London establishments, with plenty of variety from one day to the next.

If you're creative, hardworking, well presented and enjoy being out and about rather than working in the same location every day, we'd love to hear from you.

To apply, please submit your CV quoting REF: FLORIST.
