Full job description

Job Title: Plant Care Technician (Part-Time Freelance)
Company: Palais
Start Date: August 2026
Employment: Part-Time (2–4 morning shifts per week)
Location: London (interior + exterior client sites, occasional travel outside London)

About Us

Palais unites contemporary art and horticulture. We design, install, and maintain curated green spaces across London and the UK, approaching each as part of a wider sculptural network in constant evolution.

Our planting schemes are not traditional gardens — they are carefully designed plant displays in workplaces, hospitality settings, and private residences. Each scheme is crafted to remain visually striking and healthy throughout the seasons, requiring consistency, aesthetic awareness, and thoughtful care.

Our gardening team currently cares for 28+ installations of varying scope, visiting weekly or bi-weekly. As we grow, we’re looking for curious, detail-oriented plant lovers to join our team.

Role Overview

The Plant Care Technician is a hands-on, client-facing role responsible for maintaining the health and appearance of our interior and exterior plant schemes. You’ll be trained in the Palais in-house planting style and supported by our studio team, working both independently and as part of a wider network.

This role is ideal for someone with good horticultural knowledge, a strong eye for aesthetics, and the ability to work thoughtfully within shared environments.

Key Responsibilities

Routine care and maintenance of plant schemes across London sites.
Monitoring plant health and responding promptly to issues.
Providing clear, regular feedback to the studio team on site conditions, materials required, and any follow-up actions.
Working independently on-site while maintaining consistent communication with the team.
Ensuring planting remains visually engaging, adapting to seasonal changes, and implementing updates where required.

About You

We’re looking for people who bring attentiveness, curiosity, and a love for plants. Key qualities include:

A broad awareness of aesthetics and spatial design.
A good general understanding of plant health and maintenance.
Strong communication skills and confidence in asking questions.
Attention to detail and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset.
Consideration when working in client-facing, shared environments.
A curious, open-minded approach to learning and improving systems.
Some DIY experience is a plus.
Confidence working at height and using ladders.

Bonus points for:

A full UK driver’s license or confidence riding a cargo e-bike in London.
Being an early riser — most sites need to be vacated by 11:30am/12pm.
Happy travelling to sites across London

Contract Details

Part-time role (2-4 morning shifts per week).
Minimum 6-month commitment.
Start: August 2026.

Why Work With Us

At Palais, we’re not your typical gardening company. We’ve carved out a niche creating naturalistic, large-scale container planting that transforms some of the most iconic restaurants, venues, and urban spaces in London and the UK. Our focus is on beautiful, non-corporate planting — bold, innovative, and always pushing boundaries.

Please note: This is a plant care role — not a floral design position.
