Market Stall Worker

Position: Market Stall Manager

Location: Old Bus Depot Markets, Canberra

Pay: $37.50 p/h plus super

We are looking for people to help run our stall at The Old Bus Depot Market in Kingston.

The market runs every Sunday 9:30AM-2PM.

We are seeking someone to set up and packdown, as well as transport stock to/from a storage cage - this will pay an additional 1.5 hours on each shift to cover these tasks. The second role is a turn up at the start of the market and go at the end of the day.

We are a small start up, we make small batch hand crafted tonic water. We've had a fantastic response to our product. Some of the key selling points are:

- Our bitter orange is the original recipe for tonic water, it's aromatic and flavorsome. It's good enough that it can actually be drunk on its own, doesn't even need the gin.
- If you or people you know aren't drinking, you can still have a drink, and feel included and not just be left with a soft drink or juice.
- It's an excellent gift. As it's non-alcoholic it can be given to anyone. You'd also be the first person to gift the tonic, instead of the gin.
- We make it as a syrup to then add to soda water. This means being able to control the strength. It also means you get a lot more in the bottle.
- Because the tonic is aromatic and made to pair with the botanicals of a London Dry gin, you can go back to the more affordable gins, the Gordons or Bombay Sapphire type gins.
- It's an excellent mixer for cocktails and there's no limit to creativity.

About you:

- Good personality and excellent communication skills

We have been running markets ourselves, and it's a fun day. There's a lot of talking, not just about the product but also just friendly chat in general. There's a strong community spirit at the Old Bus Depot markets and we really enjoy working this market in particular.

The hourly rate on weekends is $35p/h, plus super. There is full training provided for the first two weeks, as well as a lot of support. We're growing fast and if you want to be more involved, there will be lots of opportunities coming along. We have both come from industries where people were not especially valued and are determined to be the best employers possible. If you're enjoying this, there is also the opportunity to expand to other

Canberra markets. We are exploring the Gunghalin Farmers Market on Saturdays as well. We're looking at expanding in the new year and have an approach that everyone who is with us early in our journey prospers together
