Job Description: Dixie Dot Studio Superstar

 

Dixie Dot is searching for a Studio Superstar to cover Maternity leave until March 2027.

 

We are looking for a part time member of staff to join the Dixie Dot family and assist in this progressive business, running the day to day tasks of a busy craft and pottery painting studio based in Kingsway, Gloucester. 

 

Working at Dixie Dot might not be *quite* what you think! Many people assume we spend our days just making beautiful things, and while that may sometimes be the case, more often we are doing lots of cleaning, chatting to customers while we work, spending time alone in the glazing room and then a bit more cleaning!

 

We love working at Dixie Dot, it’s a high energy, great fun, colourful, varied job, and it will be a privilege to be able to put on our apron and say you’re part of the team!

 

Your attributes:

• A sense of fun

• Ability to deal with all ages of people from all walks of life

• A hard worker - you need to be someone who loves to ‘get stuck in’

You do not need to be ‘arty’ for this role but creativity helps. If you can imagine and produce a beautiful window display, find a way round a tricky situation so everyone is happy, or design a brilliant new kids craft workshop, creativity takes many forms! 

 

The role: 

 

You will be :

-           preparing the studio for customers,

You must be happy to work alone sometimes, cover adhoc hours, holidays/sickness and evening work depending on workshop schedules.
