JOB OVERVIEW

This is NOT a normal Virtual Assistant role.

Most people won't enjoy this job.

At Yum Street, we secure catering opportunities at some of the UK's biggest festivals, sporting events, Christmas markets, music festivals, agricultural shows, fireworks events, food festivals, corporate events and public celebrations.

Every event starts the same way.

Someone has to find it.

Someone has to discover how to apply.

Someone has to build the relationship.

Someone has to complete the application properly.

That someone could be you.
