Come join the team at Wabash & Erie Canal Park! We are seeking at least one new Event Host to assist with rental events in the reception hall at the Canal Center in Delphi. See below for more details:
This is a part-time role with varying hours, anywhere from a few hours per week to about 10-12 hours in a week. When there are more rental events taking place, especially with special events like weddings or quinceañeras, there are more hours available. If you are in the market for some extra hours here and there each month, working with a variety of interesting clients, this might be a good fit for you.
In essence, the Event Host will open the Canal Center for scheduled rental events, helping clients get settled and comfortable in their rented space. Additionally, the Event Host will close the Canal Center at the conclusion of these events, ensuring that the facilities are properly treated and maintained. Some events, typically one or two times per month, will require the Event Host to remain at the event through its duration. Most events only require a visit to open and a visit to close the building.
Here are some of the perks and positives of this position:
- You can sign up for the events that suit your needs, and you can decline events that wouldn’t be possible for you.
- You are generally paid per event, which means that many events will not require a full hour of your time to receive an hour of pay.
- We have a variety of fun and interesting groups and people who use the reception hall, so there is always someone new to meet and welcome.
We have some staff members to help cover events that take place during regular office hours, but we are looking for an individual who can help cover events that take place during mornings, evenings, and weekends. Some of the mornings might be early, and some of the evenings might be late!
No special skills are required beyond being a welcoming and helpful ambassador for Wabash & Erie Canal Park. We use a simple electronic calendar to track events, and we can provide training on how to use this platform.
If you are potentially interested in this position, please email director@canalcenter.org for more information. We would love to talk more with you about this opportunity!
