About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever imagined spending your afternoons surrounded by creativity, laughter, and the buzz of inspiration? We’re searching for a friendly, welcoming female team member to help run our creative hub in Abu Dhabi’s scenic Al Bahiya neighborhood. This role is perfect for someone who loves art, enjoys working with kids, and thrives in an environment where no two days are quite the same. If you’re looking for work that feels meaningful (with a side of glitter and paint!), you might just find your next adventure with us.
About Us
We’re not your average art space. Gracia Farm’s Creative Hub is where families, neighbors, and curious minds come together to make, learn, and connect. Our team believes in sparking creativity in the community—whether that means guiding little hands through a messy workshop or simply ensuring visitors feel right at home. Evenings here are fueled by laughter, the clatter of paint brushes, and the occasional spontaneous singalong. Mondays? Well, that’s when we recharge—everyone needs a break to dream up the next big idea.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Opening and closing the creative hub each shift (with a checklist so nothing’s forgotten)
- Creating a warm, inviting environment for every customer who walks in
- Answering questions, handling inquiries, and making everyone feel included
- Managing payments smoothly and responsibly at the front desk
- Guiding children and adults through scheduled activities—patience and a playful spirit encouraged!
- Assisting with workshop set-up, supporting instructors, and keeping things tidy during and after sessions
- Keeping the space organized, from arranging supplies to making sure chairs are just right
- Helping out wherever needed, because we’re a team above all else
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Comfortable working with kids (think: cheerful chaos, messy hands, endless curiosity)
- Solid conversational English (Arabic a lovely bonus, but not required)
- Love for all things creative—art, crafts, or just a flair for making things beautiful
- Friendly, patient, and able to welcome guests from all walks of life
- Minimum age: 19 years old
- Reliability—showing up matters to our small team
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in customer service, education, or art-related environments
- Living near Al Bahiya or willing to commute
- Any artistic skills you’d like to share (don’t be shy!)
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- AED 2,500 monthly salary—paid reliably every month
- Consistent schedule: Tuesday–Sunday, 3–9 PM (Monday is your guaranteed day off)
- Supportive, hands-on training—no one gets thrown in the deep end
- Opportunities to learn new crafts and share your own ideas
- Relaxed, friendly environment with room to be yourself
- Chance to make a real difference in the community, one project at a time
If you’re looking for more than just a job, but a place to grow, connect, and help others tap into their creativity, we’d be thrilled for you to join our little family at Gracia Farm’s Creative Hub.
