Fabrica is looking for an organised, friendly and practical Office & Sales Assistant to join our team on a freelance, part-time basis from September 2026 to March 2027. This is a hands-on, office-based role at Fabrica, working from our busy reception office, providing an important point of contact for visitors, tenants, artists, colleagues and the wider public.

Based in our beautiful Grade II* listed building in Brighton’s historic Lanes, Fabrica is a contemporary arts space where people can experience culture in unexpected ways. Through exhibitions, events, workshops, performances and community-led activity, we bring people together to explore creativity, learning and wellbeing. Alongside our public programme, we run a busy venue hire business, hosting weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, cultural festivals, talks and screenings throughout the year.

The role provides essential front-of-house and administrative support, including regular event administration and data inputting, helping to keep the building and day-to-day operations running smoothly. You’ll also support our Marketing & Sales Manager with venue hire enquiries, shop sales, donations and other day-to-day commercial activity.

We’re looking for someone who is organised, approachable and confident dealing with people, with the ability to work independently and take a practical, proactive approach to getting things done. This is a varied role offering the opportunity to gain experience across the day-to-day running of a busy arts organisation and its commercial activity.
