  • Email & Communication Management: Respond to customer and client emails in a timely, professional manner, managing bookings, inquiries, and other communication.
  • Software Usage: Use relevant software for managing bookings, staff schedules, event planning, and inventory control to ensure smooth operational flow.

Requirements:

  • Creative & Enthusiastic: You bring passion, energy, and fresh ideas to your work, enjoying a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Experienced in Street Food or Events: You've got experience managing events and have worked with pop-ups or street food vendors, giving you a strong understanding of creative service setups.
  • Barista & Alcohol Trained: You're comfortable with barista duties and have experience serving alcohol, with full knowledge of UK licensing laws (personal licence preferred).
  • Family-Friendly: You thrive working around children and families, especially in settings like Clara's Corner, and enjoy fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment.
