About The Sober Bar London CIC

The Sober Bar London CIC is a new community project creating alcohol-free spaces where people can connect, socialise, learn and feel supported.

We are especially focused on supporting LGBTQ+ people, sober and sober-curious people, people in recovery, and people who may feel isolated or left out of traditional nightlife.

We also want to support people who are unemployed or trying to get back into work by offering volunteer roles that help build confidence, routine, skills and recent experience.

We are looking for a Volunteer Events Assistant to help support our sober social events, pop-ups, workshops and community activities.

This role could be a good fit if you enjoy being organised, helping people feel welcome, supporting events, or learning how community activities are planned and delivered.

You do not need previous events experience. We are looking for someone friendly, reliable and willing to learn.

Most planning tasks can be done from home. You may be invited to support in-person events, but this is optional and based on your availability.
