We are looking for a confident, friendly salesperson to take responsibility for running our market and show stand.

The Role

This is a part-time employed position, normally involving one full market or show shift each week of approximately 12 hours. Shifts will often include weekends, early starts and some evening finishes.

Your working time will include travelling to the event, setting up the stand, selling throughout the day and packing everything away afterwards.

Additional shifts may be available during the busy summer and Christmas event seasons.

• Friendly, outgoing and comfortable approaching customers
• Reliable, punctual and able to work independently
