Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced, well-rounded florist to join our team part-time. We need someone with deep expertise in weddings, events, funerals, and everyday arrangements—someone who can take the reins as a key holder. The ideal candidate will be hands-on, skilled in prepping flowers from delivery—conditioning them, storing them properly, and arranging them with care.
Candidates must be comfortable lifting heavy buckets of water and large deliveries. While some tech use, like POS systems and delivery platforms, is involved, it is a minor part of the role. We do, however, require flexibility as we have busy periods, especially on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, which may require extra-long shifts.
We also need someone who is able to work both weekdays and weekends. If you’re a passionate florist ready to take on a leadership role, we want to hear from you! P TO APPLY FOR THIS JOB PLEASE EMAIL PHOTOS OF YOUR WORK TO
