creative production - or another field with genuinely transferable skills

Working Arrangement

n

n
- Full-time hours across five working days, including Wednesday to Saturday
n
- Saturday work is essential
n
- Option to work either Monday or Tuesday to make up the fifth working day
n
- This role requires flexibility, as working in weddings and events often involves non-standard hours. You may be required to work on Sundays, public holidays, and overtime.

n

You must have full Australian working rights, with permanent residency or citizenship. No WHV applications please.

n

Why First Sunday?

n

At First Sunday, your work won't disappear into a spreadsheet. You'll see the things you build become part of extraordinary celebrations at some of Sydney's most beautiful venues.

n

We're a fast-growing wedding design studio known for imaginative, design‐led events. You'll become part of a close-knit, ambitious team where creativity and craftsmanship are valued, valuable ideas are welcomed and there is genuine room to learn, contribute and grow alongside the business. No two projects are ever the same, and we think that's what makes this work so rewarding.

n

If you're excited by the idea of turning sketches, samples and creative concepts into something people can walk into and experience, we'd love to hear from you.

n

Please include examples or photographs of anything you've built, painted, crafted, repaired or installed with your application. Personal projects are very welcome.
