Brentford Market Manager Needed

Brentford High Street Steering Group prepare for a new weekly market

The Brentford Market will launch as a sixth month pilot in late April 2013 operating every Sunday in the town centre’s historic Market Place. The project is supported by the Portas Pilots DCLG fund, London Borough of Hounslow and National Lottery.

The market is strategically managed and developed by award winning Brentford High Street Steering Group, established in 2006, which has run numerous events in the town centre.

The market will be open to customers from 10am-3pm and traders 9-5pm.

Andrew Dakers, Chair of BHSSG said "Whilst we have some possible candidates in our sights we are casting the net wide again as we think for everyone’s sake it is important we are absolutely sure we have the right person for a demanding role."

The role of manager will ideally suit someone that is organised, efficient, and enthusiastic, and enjoys working with people. You must be prepared to get up early as the market starts at 10 am and you will need to be onsite at least an hour before hand (8.30/9am), finishing at about 5pm. Some of the work is quite physical so you must be prepared to lift and move equipment. Working outside all the time means you must be prepared to get wet and cold as well as enjoying the warm sunny days.

Through our partnership with the Sustain Ethical Eats project training and support will be available to the Market Manager.
