Who We Are
The BC Dental Study Club runs hands-on continuing education courses for dentists from our teaching space in downtown Vancouver.
The Role
We're looking for someone to join our events team on course weekends, working alongside our event lead to make sure everything runs smoothly for participants and instructors, from the first pot of coffee to the final reset.
No dental experience is needed. We'll train you on everything specific to our courses.
What You'll Do
- Run the kitchen through the day: brew coffee, prepare milk and hot water, plate food, stock the fridge, and keep dishes moving so the kitchen stays clean and organized
- Set up breakfast and snacks before participants arrive, and keep food, drinks and supplies stocked all day
- Help welcome participants at registration and coat check
- Run the room from an iPad control: lights, shades and music for lectures and breaks
- Keep instructors set up with water and coffee
- Hand out and collect hands-on kits and materials, and reset stations between sessions
- Keep the room tidy through the day by clearing dishes, cups and garbage
- Walk participants to and from lunch at a nearby restaurant
- Clean up, put the kitchen back in order, pack materials and reset the room at the end of each day
Schedule
- Around 35 weekend days in 2027, mostly in spring and fall
- Some courses start on a Friday. Friday shifts are optional and available if you'd like more hours
- The full year's dates are shared in advance so you can plan around them
- Occasional chances to travel with the team to courses in the US and across Canada, with travel costs covered
Who We're Looking For
- Experience in hotels, banquets, catering, events, or a busy café or restaurant
- Reliable and on time for a 7:30 AM start
- You notice what needs doing and do it before anyone asks
- Warm and polished with professionals, and comfortable staying in the background during lectures
- Comfortable running a busy kitchen and keeping it spotless
- Comfortable on your feet all day and able to lift boxes and supplies
- A valid passport is an asset for travel
Our Ideal Candidate
You’re someone who takes pride in a day that runs smoothly, keeping the coffee hot, the room ready and the kitchen spotless without needing to be asked. You’re happiest staying a step ahead and working quietly in the background, and you take the same care with the final reset as you do with the first setup of the morning. If you’re looking for steady weekend work with a team that values reliability and attention to detail, we’d love to hear from you.
