Managers

We quite often need managers or stand by managers for our markets. If there is a market close to where you live, it's quite possible that we need a manager to work there or to cover the existing manager.

If you are organised, efficient, and enthusiastic, and you are interested in food, environmental issues, or farming, you might enjoy the work. We organise markets Tuesday through to Sunday at many locations in London. The market is upbeat and sociable and the farmers and customers are lovely people.

  • The Market Manager is present at set up of the market (usually 2 hours before start of market). Duties involve unlocking the site (if necessary), co-ordinating the position of stalls, and putting up signs.
  • The Manager brings A boards, table, signs etc either from home or makes sure that there is safe local place to store and retrieve them on market day.
  • The Manager sets up a Market Manager's table with information about London Farmers' Markets and a comments book for the public.
  • The Manager rings the opening bell and ensures that there is no selling before the bell.
  • The Manager takes fees, issues a receipt, and records fees and attendance in a notebook.
  • After ringing the closing bell, the Manager supervises the clearing of the site and confirms that each stallholder has cleaned up.
  • The Manager sends a weekly market report LFM on market day and banks the fees as soon as possible using an assigned credit book.
  • The Manager sends an invoice to LFM monthly and is employed on a freelance basis.
  • The Market Manager talks to stall holders and customers and conveys those comments to LFM.
  • The Manager communicates with the office about producer attendance and makes sure that all producers have his/her mobile number so that they can call on the day if they are running late or cannot attend.
  • The Market Manager promotes the market during market hours, for example, by leafleting or talking to local businesses or community groups.


Volunteers

From time to time we require extra help in the office or at markets. The work is generally unpaid but sometimes there are funds available for limited wages. We sometimes need help on projects, with administration, publicising markets or even helping out on farm visits. We look for people that have an interest in food or farming who have some experience in administration.
