About Us
Balloonista is a luxury balloon & event styling brand trusted by both high-end private clients and leading corporate brands. From unforgettable birthday celebrations to prestigious launches and stylish brand activations, we're known for our impeccable attention to detail, creativity, and customer service. We're a small but mighty dream team, and we take pride in making every event magical.
The Role
We're looking for flexible, hands-on people to join us as Ad-Hoc Event Stylists. You'll support our event setups on a flexible basis — perfect if you want occasional, creative work that fits around your lifestyle.
Responsibilities
* Create and install luxury balloon displays for private and corporate events
* Drive our company vans to deliver and collect balloons, props, and frames (must hold a full UK driving licence — our vans are easier to drive in central London than finding a parking space)
* Respect clients, their homes, venues, and cultures — always representing the Balloonista brand with professionalism and warmth
* Assist with inflating balloons, rigging installations, styling arches, ceilings, and displays
* Support with packing down and tidying event spaces after installations
* Help with studio prep, stock organisation, and order packing when needed
* Be happy to work evenings, weekends, and at short notice when events require
* Bring a positive, can-do mindset — at Balloonista there's no "that's not my job" attitude
Requirements
* Full UK driving licence (essential)
* Confidence driving our company vans
* Physically fit to lift balloon weights, frames, and large items
* Reliable, punctual, and self-motivated
* Great eye for detail and a love of creating beautiful experiences
* Comfortable working in clients' homes and high-end corporate venues, with respect for their spaces and cultures
* Flexible availability (including evenings/weekends)
What You'll Gain
* Flexible, ad-hoc work that fits around your lifestyle
* Training in luxury balloon styling and event setup
* Opportunities to progress into more regular hours or senior roles as the business grows
* A fun, supportive team environment and the chance to create wow-factor experiences for our clients
How to Apply:
Please send us a short cover note including:
* Who you are
* Why you'd be a great fit for Balloonista
* Your availability (weekdays, evenings, weekends)
*** Video submissions will be prioritised. A quick 1–2 minute video introducing yourself and telling us why you'd love to join Balloonista will help your application stand out. (A simple phone video is fine — we're looking for personality, not production quality.)***
We look forward to hearing from you
