When jousts were held as trials of martial strength and ability, no being a jouster was not a job. The actual job was a knight, who would use a joust to both prove his skill with a lance as well as win accolades and settle fueds.
Currently, there may be some people whose official job title is "jouster"; these would likely be individuals who are involved with the tourism industry around castles and other significant historical structures from medieval Europe.

When he was a young man Henry was a great dancer, musician & composer. He was also great at sports (he invented a new sport that was similar to tennis). He also enjoyed hunting and was a fantastic jouster. But as he grew older, he put on more weight and couldn't carry on with most of these things.
He was an avid hunter, as well as a jouster. (Riding horses carrying big sticks otherwise known as lances.) He was even severly injured during one of these jousting matches. Many historians believe it was this brush with death that made Henry fixate on fathering a male heir to the throne.
