Do you love events and good food?
Paella Pan are looking for fun and enthusiastic people to join the Paella Pan crew for the upcoming event season!
They cater weddings, private parties and events, cooking paella fresh on-site in large pans in front of guests. Their events are social and hands-on.

THE ROLE
As part of the Event Crew, you’ll be involved:
• Setting up the cooking and serving area
• Cooking paella onsite
• Serving and interacting with guests
• Cleaning and packing down equipment

EXPERIENCE
Previous hospitality or cooking experience is helpful, but not essential. You don’t need to be a qualified chef or cook. They provide training in their cooking process, equipment and how they run events.

More important to them is finding people who:
• Are friendly and confident with customers
• Are comfortable working with food and have an interest in it
• Enjoy working as part of a team
• Are regularly available on weekends
• Are interested in ongoing work with us

As their events are held at different venues across Geelong, Melbourne, the Bellarine and surrounding areas, having your own transport and drivers license is essential.

HOURS & AVAILABILITY
Most of their events take place on weekends, so regular weekend availability is important. Guaranteed hours every weekend are available for the right applicants, as well as more casual shifts for those looking for additional work around study, another job or other commitments.
