The production role is to ensure balloons are prepared and looking perfect in a timely manner for collection from our shop, or to be delivered locally.  The candidate will ideally have creative flair and a keen eye for detail.

 

This role is physically demanding. You will be on your feet for most of the day creating balloon designs.  The orders will determine the workload.  One day you might be inflating latex balloon bunches, the next you might be creating large balloon garlands.

 

The role requires an eye for detail, as each aspect of the role requires perfection.  We always strive to send out the very best quality balloons to our customers.

 

It’s a fun industry to work in, and we are looking for the right team personality, more than experience, as training will be provided.  The role is fast-paced and with orders growing in quantity, you will be expected to maintain a cool head whilst working at speed and with accuracy.

 

In addition to creating top quality balloons, we also have a retail shop which is open 6 days a week selling party supplies and taking new orders for balloons.  This part of the role will require excellent customer service and sales skills.  Retail experience is desirable but not essential.
