At The Flower Connection, we’re looking for an energetic, motivated trainee (ideally 18–22) to join our warehouse team. Experience isn’t essential – what matters is attitude.

- Unpacking and conditioning flowers to ensure freshness and quality
- Helping to keep the warehouse and flower showroom clean, organised, and professional
- Supporting operations across all departments (flowers, plants, sundries)
- Supporting the yard manager with returning supplier packaging and maintaining the cleanliness of the yard.
- Assisting with deliveries and driving (full license required)
- Opportunity to train in forklift operations and other key warehouse skills
What We’re Looking For:
- A positive, can-do attitude – willing to get stuck in
- Physically fit and comfortable with lifting and being on your feet
- Reliable, punctual, and ready to learn
- A team player who brings energy, effort, and enthusiasm every day
- Full UK driving licence essential
- No warehouse experience needed – full training provided
Why Join Us?
- Competitive starting salary from £26,000
- A company pension, employee discounts, free parking
- Be part of a supportive, close-knit team with a strong mission
- Real opportunities to progress as we continue to grow
