• Written communication with individual vendors and mass communications through email and social media.

All About the Fit:

Doing this job well requires a dedicated, resourceful, flexible, and committed individual.

Many tasks require attention to detail and the ability to concentrate in a busy environment. Much of your day could be spent on your feet and requires an upbeat attitude. Lifting heavy items, moving tables and chairs, setting up tents and other infrastructure is a regular occurrence.

While there are tasks that will be located inside climate-controlled environments, being outside during the markets in varying degrees of weather is a big component of the position.

The Garrison Night Market Assistant position will report directly to the manager of the market. Tasks assigned by other staff will flow through them.

Perks:

• Competitive Salary: $28.37 hourly (CUPE Local 1709)
• Opportunities to meet new people, build your skill set, and be actively involved in your community.
