Job Overview
Flapjackery is an award-winning business, specialising in handmade gluten-free flapjacks, chocolates and gifts.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, well-presented and commercially minded Shows & Events Exhibitor to represent Flapjackery at shows and events throughout the year.
This is a part-time role ideally suited to someone looking for approximately 5–10 days of work per month, depending on our shows and events schedule. The number of days will vary throughout the year, with more opportunities during our busier spring, summer and Christmas event periods. Weekend work will form an important part of the role, and some events may involve consecutive days and travel.
This could suit someone looking for flexible additional work alongside other commitments, rather than a fixed full-time position.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys meeting people, selling, working independently and delivering excellent customer service. You will be responsible for setting up and running our Flapjackery stand, actively engaging with customers and maximising sales throughout each event.
The role will involve regular travel, weekend working and, for some events, overnight stays.

- Ensure the stand is attractive, fully stocked and presented to Flapjackery's brand standards throughout the event
- Process customer transactions accurately using our EPOS card payment systems
- Monitor stock levels during events and replenish displays as required
- Maintain high standards of food hygiene, cleanliness and organisation
- Assist with packing down the stand and equipment at the end of each event
- Ensure equipment, stock and display materials are cared for and accounted for
- Work closely with the Shows & Events team and wider Flapjackery team
- Provide feedback following events, including sales performance, customer feedback and opportunities for improvement

We are looking for someone who is:
- Confident, friendly and comfortable approaching and engaging with customers

- Comfortable working in a busy event environment

- Physically able to assist with setting up stands, moving stock and packing equipment
- Able to remain positive and professional during long and busy trading days
Previous experience in retail, sales, food, hospitality, markets, festivals or events would be an advantage, although full training will be provided.
A full UK driving licence is essential.
What We Offer
