So we have some exciting news! We're looking to hire a couple of people to help deliver our weekend markets.

You must be fit & able as the work involves some heavy lifting. The job involves collecting equipment from Shipley, driving to markets (e.g. Saltaire, Baildon, Meanwood), setting up, selling hot & frozen produce (involves a gas stove in colder months), packing down & returning equipment.

We will be working as a team & offer flexible hours (as long as cover is available). Paid training will be provided after which you will work independently & earn a basic hourly wage + commission on sales & a bonus for selling out!

Card sales will be taken via SumUp app which you will need to download to your personal phone.

You will need your own transport of a decent size (we use a Kia Niro) & ideally live locally to Shipley to reduce travel times.

We are looking for people that can commit to a year or so to minimise staff turnover.

Most of all, we are looking for helpful, proactive individuals happy to help a new business grow!

Please DM if interested.
