Freelance Floristry Tutor

Summary

We are seeking a Freelance Floristry Tutor to co-design and deliver six full-day floristry skills training workshops for a cohort of 15 female survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery.

This role sits at the intersection of high-quality floristry training and careful, trauma-informed facilitation. Alongside teaching technical skills, the tutor plays a vital role in creating a learning environment that feels safe, welcoming, and empowering for women who have experienced significant trauma.

You will lead on floristry content and delivery, while working closely with an experienced on-site programme team. This is not a typical freelance floristry role; it is a collaborative, values-led position within a structured support programme.

Terms

This post is open to female applicants only as being female is deemed to be a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

Role Title: Freelance Floristry Tutor

Reports to: Programme Director/Interim Programme Director

Hourly rate: £20 per hour

Estimated total commitment: approximately 90 hours (delivery + preparation)

Location: London (King’s Cross)

Transport, travel & expenses

The Floristry Tutor will be responsible for ensuring that all flowers and materials are delivered to the workshop venue.

Requirements:

  • Full UK driving license

  • Willingness and ability to store and transport flowers and materials (This is likely to include having materials delivered in advance to your home or studio and transporting them in your own car or in a hired vehicle).

Travel & costs:

  • Travel time paid at 50% of hourly rate (£10/hour), up to 2 hours per training day

  • Petrol and parking reimbursed

  • Vehicle or van hire covered by Strength & Stem where required

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to the next stage of the recruitment process, which will include a conversation about the role and an opportunity to further demonstrate your suitability for the role.

Application Deadline: by 23:59 on Sunday 22 February 2026.

First round interviews are likely to be scheduled for Friday 27th February.

Volunteering opportunities

Thank you for your interest in supporting Strength & Stem. 

Volunteers are an important part of this mission, and there are many ways to get involved — from mentoring and leading workshops, to offering work experience or sharing professional skills. 

Below are some of the ways you can get involved. 

To enquire about any of these opportunities please email hello@strengthandstem.com

  • 1. Host a 2-hour floristry workshop

    Do you have floristry skills to share? We welcome volunteers to run short, beginner-friendly workshops for our Alumni community. These sessions are relaxed, creative, and designed to help Alumni reconnect and build confidence. 

    Here’s how it works: 

    - We handle planning, organise the location (or you can use your own venue if preferred), and provide all materials (flowers, secateurs, etc.) 

    - The Strength & Stem team is there to support you on the day 

    Your role: Bring your skills and enthusiasm to lead a 2-hour session for up to 15 people — we take care of the rest. 

    Ideas could include a small bouquet, flower crown, or seasonal centrepiece — we’d love to hear your ideas! 

  • 2. Lead a skills workshop

    Our programme includes workshops focused on: Wellbeing, Agency, Relationships and Future Security. We welcome volunteers to get creative and think about how their expertise could support women in any of these areas. 

    Whether it’s practical skills, personal development tips, or professional know-how, your knowledge could make a real impact. Past workshops have included self-care, self-compassion, time management, communication, and an introduction to the UK job market. 

    Workshops can be a single morning or afternoon session, so no long-term commitment is needed. If you have the knowledge but aren’t sure how to turn it into a workshop, our team can help with planning and facilitation — we’re excited for you to get in touch and share your ideas with us! 

  • 3. Provide work experience

    As part of our programme, each participant completes up to 12 days of voluntary work experience with florists or flower farmers in London. Even if you can only host a few days, your support makes a real difference — helping participants put their skills into practice in a real-world setting. 

    We provide full training and support, so you can focus on sharing your expertise and welcoming our participants. 

    You can find our full guide to providing work experience here.

  • 4. Share your skills

    Have another way to help? 

    If you have expertise in social media, videography, corporate outreach, or anything else that could support our mission, we’d love to hear from you.

    You can contribute in a way that fits your skills and availability. 

  • 5. Become a mentor

    Mentoring is a key part of our programmes. Mentors guide participants through self-development, employment, and training goals over six months, following the successful completion of our vocational floristry and prevocational skills sessions. 

    We provide a structured programme to support both mentor and mentee. Mentors must be female and have employment or business experience, including goal setting, navigating the UK job market, completing applications, and preparing for interviews. 

    Applications open annually from March to May and more information can be found here on our website when we are open for recruitment.
