Events Lead - Fixed Term
Are you confident driving vehicles and towing trailers? A glass-half-full kind of champion? Do you love ice cream? We’re looking for a food-trucking legend to hit the road with our truck and trailer this summer with the events team.
We’re looking for a fixed term person who gets our brand and is excited to join the Duck Island family. The position will ideally start October, however we are flexible on this and there is an opportunity to extend for the right candidate. The hours will vary between 20-30 hours per week depending on bookings with an hourly rate of $27 p/hour.
You’ll receive full scoop training here at our Grey Street store so that you can hit the road with ice cream confidence. In return we can offer flexibility, fun opportunities, a progressive and supportive working environment and of course – ice cream.
We don’t book events between Christmas & New Years, so you can enjoy your holiday season. However if you are keen for hours, there are plenty available at our scoop shop or factory.
