  • Market Trader / Sales & Warehouse Assistant — Sicilian Dessert Brand
    Market Trader / Sales & Warehouse Assistant — Sicilian Dessert Brand
    3 days ago
    £14.8 hourly
    Part-time
    London

    Casa Cannoli is a London Sicilian dessert business — fresh cannoli and tiramisù, sold at street markets and events across the city. We've been doing this for 15 years, and we're a small team looking for one more person to join us. What you'll be doing Running our market stall — serving customers, filling cannoli to order, handling cash and card. Working events, parties and private catering bookings. Restocking and keeping our warehouse in North London organised, checking deliveries and rotating stock. It's a mix of customer-facing and behind-the-scenes. No two weeks look the same. The hours, honestly Around 30 hours a week over 3 days on average. Most weeks follow a regular pattern: two days at our Kings Cross market, roughly 9:30am to 7:30pm, and one day in Chelsea, 9:30am to 4:30pm. They're long days, on your feet and mostly outdoors. Two things to be clear about. We cater events, which often come in at short notice, so we need someone who can pick up extra shifts when they land — usually weekends, sometimes evenings. Event shifts pay a higher hourly rate than your normal shifts, so they're worth having. And we're a team of two: when one person is on holiday or off sick, the other covers the extra shifts. It's the trade-off for a small team, and it cuts both ways — you get the same cover when you're off. December is busier across the board; the quieter winter months are lighter. What we're looking for Someone who's good with people and genuinely enjoys selling — most of the job is talking to customers. You'll need to be physically fit, as there's regular lifting and moving of stock and stall equipment. Weekend availability is essential, since that's when the markets and events run. Reliability matters more than experience; we'll teach you the product. Having your own car is a big plus — it means you can run events independently, and we pay mileage on top of your hourly rate. Not essential, but it'll open up more shifts for you. Interest in Italian food is a bonus. What we offer £14.80 an hour, above the London Living Wage and reviewed annually. Event shifts paid at a premium rate. Mileage paid when you use your own car for events. And a stable business — 15 years in, still growing — where you'll learn the whole thing, not just one corner of it. You must have the right to work in the UK.

We value individuals who can hold a vision, appreciate atmosphere, and want their work to have impact. Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t. There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
