Who I am looking for...

You will suit this role if you are:

• Reliable and organised.
• Comfortable working independently on small tasks.
• Friendly and confident speaking with people.
• Practical and happy to get involved with packing, setup and pack down.
• Interested in creativity, poetry, art or community.
• Able to take initiative without needing constant direction.
• Comfortable working alongside an independent artist and adapting as priorities change.

You don't need to be an expert in marketing, poetry or business. A willingness to learn, communicate and contribute is more important.

The role

The work will be casual and flexible, with the main recurring commitment being support around markets every two weeks. Additional tasks will arise between markets depending on what needs to be done.

This is an opportunity to become involved in a growing independent creative project and help build something that combines art, poetry, products, workshops and community.
