We’ve recently converted our warehouse into a small event venue and are looking for a couple of roaming staff to join our team. The role is hands-on and varies depending on the event, but generally includes waitressing, clearing and resetting buffet tables, collecting plates and glasses, washing up, and helping out wherever needed on the day.

Ideally Melbourne-based, with ongoing work available and opportunities to also assist with our event styling jobs when needed. Let me know if this sounds like something you’d be interested in. First shift Saturday 28 March 7:30pm - 12:30am 27ph
