Business & Venue Researcher for Notting Hill Carnival

What are you going to do:

Over two days, you will work systematically through a defined map of the Carnival footprint.

You will visit all kinds of businesses including:

• Pubs and bars

• Shops and independent retailers

• Convenience stores

• Hairdressers 

• Beauty businesses

• Creative businesses

• Music venues

• Hotels

• Gyms 

• Offices

• Faith organisations

• Other businesses and organisations operating within the Carnival area

A starting database and map will be provided.

However, an important part of the job is identifying businesses that aren't already on our list.

The objective is to account for every relevant business and venue operating within the defined Carnival footprint.

We don't want this to feel like a questionnaire being read from a clipboard. You should introduce yourself, explain the research and have a short, friendly conversation with the business. The most important question is:

“What does your business do during Carnival weekend?”

We want to understand things such as, do they:

• Open during Carnival, close or extend their business hours, employ additional staff, etc.

We also want to understand the challenges. Businesses should be encouraged to tell us what works well and what could be improved.

 

What we offer

• short term project
• Not desk work
• Interesting subject matter
