Job Overview
We are seeking a proactive and personable Events Assistant to support the organisation and execution of various events in the local area. You must be over the age of 18.
It is a relatively straightforward role as you will guide people into the event, scan their tickets and answer any questions they might have.
We are a growing events company so over time you may be asked to do more and more work. This be at the weekends, so it is definitely a second job, and daytime, so if you have an evening job it won't impact that. Hours are regularly 9am-3pm, but this can vary a little.
The event runs monthly.
Because of the type of events we run you may be asked to wear a costume, so this will suit someone with a sense of fun. This is not a deal breaker.
If you drive that is an added bonus as we will not just be running events in Taunton.
