Turn Conversations Into Impact

We’re currently representing a growing live, entry-level promotions team delivering high-visibility charity campaigns across Oak Park. Their work happens where people gather — community events, retail environments, and public venues — connecting supporters to causes that matter through direct, face-to-face engagement.

They’re seeking a confident and motivated Special Events Assistant to join the team and play an active role in campaign delivery and sales performance.

This is an entry-level opportunity with immediate start options available. No previous experience is required — training is provided — but strong people skills and a results-driven mindset are essential.

What This Role Involves

As a Special Events Assistant, you’ll be part of the frontline campaign team.

Your responsibilities will include:

Representing charitable initiatives at organised event locations
Proactively engaging members of the public in meaningful conversation
Clearly communicating the mission, impact, and goals of the campaign
Assisting interested supporters through the contribution or sign-up process
Tracking personal performance and contributing to team targets
Supporting smooth event execution and maintaining a professional presence
Participating in daily team briefings focused on performance and development

Skills You’ll Develop

This position is designed to quickly build transferable commercial skills. You’ll strengthen:

Public speaking and persuasion ability
Sales confidence in live environments
Target management and accountability
Customer interaction and objection handling
Teamwork within high-energy campaign settings

Those who demonstrate reliability and results may be considered for additional responsibility as the campaign grows.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This opportunity is suited to someone who:

Enjoys working directly with people
Thrives in busy, fast-paced environments
Is motivated by weekly earnings and performance bonuses
Has a positive, resilient attitude
Is flexible with scheduling, including weekend availability

No prior experience is necessary — just a willingness to learn and contribute.

What’s On Offer

Weekly pay of $900 (including performance-based bonuses)
Structured onboarding and campaign training
A collaborative, energetic team environment
Practical experience in sales, events, and public engagement
Clear pathways for increased responsibility dependant on individual goals

If you’re looking for a role where you’re visible, valued, and directly contributing to campaign success, apply today.
