Casual Events Coordinator
Killara Catering & Collective Pty Ltd
Join One of Canberra's Fastest Growing Catering & Events Teams
Are you organised, people-focused and passionate about creating exceptional events?
Killara Catering & Collective is looking for a motivated Casual Events Coordinator to join our growing team based in Canberra.
We are a dynamic hospitality and catering company delivering premium weddings, corporate events, private functions and major sporting events across Canberra and the NSW South Coast. Every day is different, and you'll be part of a passionate team committed to creating memorable guest experiences.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to develop a career in hospitality and event management while working alongside experienced industry professionals.
Hours: Approximately 15–20 hours per week, with flexibility to increase as our business continues to grow.
About the Role
Working alongside our Celebrations & Events Manager, this role provides day-to-day administrative and customer service support while also assisting the Company Directors with a range of hospitality and business activities.
You will play an important role in ensuring our events are well organised from the moment an enquiry is received through to the final stages of planning. You'll assist with client communications, event administration, preparing documentation, coordinating appointments and helping keep our busy events office running efficiently.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, has strong organisational skills and is looking to develop a career in hospitality, events or business administration.
No two days are the same. One day you might be assisting with a wedding proposal, the next coordinating a corporate event, preparing function documentation, welcoming clients to a venue inspection or supporting the Directors with exciting new business projects.
