Salary and Benefits
Our colleagues benefit from the attractive benefits you'd expect to see in a professional and successful organisation, such as; competitive market-rate salaries, generous holiday allowances, a company pension scheme, health insurance, bonus schemes and staff discounts - but they also benefit hugely from working in a friendly, supportive and flexible environment, where not only are they treated as a professional but also as a member of the Interflora 'family'.
We have a very flexible approach to hybrid working, where our colleagues are trusted to choose how they manage their time and to decide where and how they work.
We love to spoil our staff as well and make them feel loved on their special days - each new starter gets a beautiful Interflora bouquet to say “hello and welcome” on their first day and every colleague is treated to another bouquet on their birthday!

But it’s not just about being the largest - we pride ourselves on being the most personable too. Everyone involved - from our florists, to our delivery drivers, to our Customer Advisors all take care to add that little personal touch.
We’re also proud that so many award-winning florists choose to be part of the Interflora family. Each of our expert florists has a unique blend of skills, creativity and attention to detail that is needed to create every handmade Interflora bouquet.

Site Description
The newly refurbished Interflora House is in the heart of Sleaford – a beautiful market town in Lincolnshire within easy reach of the Lincoln, Newark, Nottingham and Peterborough areas – but with our flexible approach to hybrid working, we now hope to be able to attract new colleagues from much further afield to be part of our family.
In our amazing newly designed workspace, we have a choice of over 80 ‘hot desks’ and 14 meeting rooms, as well as many different types of work areas to utilise throughout the day – whether that’s our ‘Library’ for some quiet thinking space, our ‘Heartspace’ for a chat over a free freshly-ground coffee, or our ‘Amphitheatre’ for social and collaboration activities. There’s even variety in our 3 main working areas, which include designated quiet desks, a ‘full bloom’ space for noisy, day to day work activities and calls, breakout spaces, meeting pods and conferencing facilities.
