Day to day, you'll:

• Deliver engaging and informative distillery tours
• Help set up, run, and pack down events
• Welcome visitors and provide excellent customer service
• Support stock control and general site organisation
• Help promote events through on-site activity and social media
• Assist with basic advertising and marketing for tours and events
• Keep the distillery clean, safe, and welcoming

What we're looking for

• Friendly, confident, and happy speaking to groups
• Well organised with good attention to detail
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a small team
• Reliable and flexible, especially for evenings and weekends
• An interest in spirits, hospitality, tourism, or events (training provided)
• Social media or event promotion experience is a bonus, but not essential
