If experienced, they must have a good knowledge of hand building and wheel throwing.

This is a great opportunity and we’re after someone who can jump in with confidence, a smile, and plenty of energy. The role is very customer-focused, so being friendly, approachable, self-motivated and comfortable talking both in person and on the phone is really important.

Some flexibility would be needed, as you will be required to work two evenings a month and one Sunday a month.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in social, creative front-house environments.

This is a permanent position with a 3 month probation period.

• Social media and marketing skills
• Admin skills, replying to emails
• Teaching wheel throwing sessions, pottery clubs and workshops
• Glazing pottery, kiln unloading and packing orders (training provided)

• Excellent organisational skills, ahead planning and attention to detail.
• Experience in customer service, retail, hospitality or similar.
