“I’m all about getting out and making the most of life — whether that’s catching a gig, flying my drone, enjoying a pint at the pub, or watching the latest blockbuster. I need someone reliable, friendly, and up for joining in. Flexibility is key... especially when the music calls.”

What you'll be working:

  • 2 day shifts a week available (we do have more shifts in packages nearby to boost hours if interested)
  • 8am - 6pm
  • Flexibility to work extra shifts if required
