Wobble and Squeak Clothing Co. are looking for a reliable, hard working assistant, with strong face to face sales skills and a proactive work ethic, to join our team at this year’s Victorious Festival in Portsmouth.
The role will require one half day and one full day’s work to set up before the event, and one half day's work to pack down after the event. This involves both heavy lifting and manual labour to help build and break the displays and the stall structure, even in turbulent weather conditions.
During the festival itself you will be working in a very busy retail environment. This is a demanding sales role which requires high-energy, enthusiasm, and confidence as it is at times very fast paced, with lots of customer interactions.
There is no onsite camping for staff at the festival so the successful applicant will need to be able to get to Southsea Common each day for work, and be able to get themselves home after their shift. Please find out about this if you need to use public transport as it is very hard to come by during the event as so many people are using it. Taxis on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are impossible to book. Living in Southsea or nearby would be extremely beneficial for the successful applicant.
The hourly rate for this position is £12. 50 per hour and you will need to bring a packed lunch to eat during your paid half an hour break, mid way through your shift. Drinks and light refreshments will be provided.
The working hours we require are as follows:
Friday 22 th August 3 pm – 9 pm
Saturday 25th August 3 pm – 9 pm
Sunday 26th August 3 pm - 9 pm
We do suggest that you arrive on site at least half an hour before your shift on show days, as it can occasionally take some time to clear security.
When applying, please bear in mind that this is a paid position and we expect it to be treated as such. We do not allow use of alcohol or illegal substances.
We would prefer the successful applicant to have some previous retail and/or events work experience, but this is not a must as full training will be given.
If this sounds like the job for you, please send us a copy of your CV!
We will be contacting applicants throughout the first week of August to arrange an interview. Many thanks for your patience in the meantime.
