Volunteer at London Cocktail Week 2016

Job description

This October the nation’s biggest cocktail festival returns for a seventh year to banish those post-summer blues – stretching across the capital to celebrate our award-winning bars and restaurants who will be opening their doors for the biggest party of its kind.

We are looking for volunteers to be the faces of London Cocktail Week (3rd-9thth October 2015) to make sure that this city-wide festival runs smoothly. You'll be based in one of our infamous Hubs - the hours you work is down to you…

We offer invaluable back stage experience within events, marketing & hospitality. Bartenders and consumers alike will come to collect or buy their wristband from one of the hub locations (Soho and Spitalfields). Your role is to help them with the process but also to be able to advise them on where to go or what to do next. It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with our bars list to ensure all our customers are receiving the best advice they can get.

During the week itself you are faced with multiple opportunities to build relationships and networks across the hospitality industry. It is really important that you have friendly & helpful approach as you will be representing our brand – so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and be armed with a smile! At the end of the week, after all your hard work we will give you a glowing reference.

This volunteer program has been running for several years now and we are proud to say that a large number of the people we have worked with have gone on to event and hospitality jobs all over the world – at the end of the week you’ll receive a reference, plus become part of our contacts list when new work comes our way.

If you would like to be involved please send over a short covering letter and your most recent CV.
