Established in 2006, Scarlet and Violet is a busy place full of flowers and scent, a lot of chatter, creativity and a whole lot of leaves dropped on the floor. The flowers we choose have a distinctly garden feel; classic flowers arranged in a natural way .
We are looking for an experienced, full-time florist to join our busy shop 4 days a week. The shop is open Monday through Saturday, and you would be expected to be available to work most Saturdays. The salary range is variable and dependent on experience, but in line with industry standards and all of our employees earn above the London Living Wage. We also benefit from a generous holiday allowance, a company sick pay policy and access to an Employee Assistance Program to encourage staff wellbeing.
We are a small team so all tend to muck in with all tasks.
Tasks will include:
* Making and choosing flowers for customers face to face in the shop and orders for delivery, providing excellent and skilled customer service.
* Installing events and weekly contracts
* Taking orders, cashing up and stock maintenance.
* Care and conditioning of flowers
* Ensuring the shop is well stocked and beautifully presented with flowers
An experienced florist will:
* Have previous floristry experience, ideally more than 2 years, and be confident in hand tied, bunch making
* Have a full clean UK driving licence, be happy to drive a van & ideally be over 25
* Be available to work Saturdays
* Be hard working and enthusiastic
* Have excellent communication skills and the ability to speak and write fluent English
* Have the ability to work collaboratively within a team environment while also being self-motivated.
* Some experience of working in a busy, customer facing, retail environment would be helpful
This role description is intended to provide a broad outline of the main responsibilities only. We all do everything, and no task is too big or too small. We are a very close knit, hardworking team and are looking for enthusiastic and conscientious people with a strong work ethic to join us.
