Organization: 100km Foods Inc. http://www.100kmfoods.com
Location: Toronto, Ontario M6M 2Y2 (Keele & Lawrence)
Type: PART TIME
How about working to bring more of Ontario’s most delicious,
farm-fresh food to market, as part of a team that’s trying to make the
world a more fair and more delicious place?
If the idea of good food, good people, and administrative excellence
sound good to you, we’d love to meet you.
We’re 100km Foods and
we’re looking to add an administrative assistant.
Why Work @ 100km Foods
100km Foods connects local farmers with urban markets. Through us,
farmers get access to large, urban markets and urban people get access
to delicious, farm-fresh food. It’s a win-win for all involved.
We deal fairly with farmers, allowing them to set their own prices,
and we seek to treat all of our employees, suppliers, clients, and
community with a high standard of fairness and cooperation. That led
us to become a certified B Corp (ever heard of that?).
Working with us, you’ll get to be a part of that purpose. You’ll work
with great people who care about what they do, who bring a positive
attitude to work, and who like to have fun. We all chip in when
necessary, so you’ll enjoy some physicality to your job as well.
You’ll also have freedom to do your job and solve problems
independently. In fact, the best employees are the ones who can
creatively resolve day-to-day problems – keeping both farmers and
clients happy.
If all of this sounds good, we’re looking for an Administrative
Assistant for approximately 24 hours per week, with a typical week
being full work days on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. You’ll have
Tuesdays, Fridays and every weekend off. Wages are $15/hour with
eligibility for increases and benefits after a year.
You will be working from our office, located at Keele Street and
Lawrence Avenue.
