About Us
The Mixing Jug is a vibrant independent juice & coffee shop in the heart of Marlow. For over a decade, we’ve been serving high-quality drinks with energy, creativity, and a strong sense of community, from the UK’s biggest festivals to our buzzing hometown.
Our Mission
“To energise and connect people through expertly crafted juice and coffee.”
This role brings that mission to life outside the shop, in the streets, neighboring towns, partner businesses, and local hotspots.
What We’re Looking For

Checking in with local partners
-
Finding new opportunities to showcase the brand
-
Bringing fresh eyes, energy, and presence into the community
-
Capturing simple content for social media
-
Supporting small, local on-the-ground marketing activation
You’re not waiting for our customers to walk in, you’re out making things happen.

Friendly, positive, and proactive

Reliable and organised — you follow through on plans
-
Happy being outdoors, walking between businesses and hotspots

Self-motivated — you like working independently

Approachable, energetic, and genuinely interested in people
-
Quick to notice opportunities in the community
-
Comfortable using a smartphone to take photos, videos, and send update
This role could suit a local parent, student, freelancer, creative, or someone semi-retired who enjoys light, active, flexible work.

-
Confident approaching new people and businesses
-
Previous community, marketing, events, or ambassador work (bonus, not required)

Comfortable walking around town for extended periods
-
Basic understanding of local community spaces
Above all, we value attitude, confidence, and reliability.

-
Approach new businesses to introduce The Mixing Jug and leave materials

Check local hotspots (gyms, salons, hotels, boutiques) for placement opportunities
-
Promote small activations (e.g. salon-ordering service, local events)
-
Represent the brand at selected local markets or community events
-
Provide simple weekly reports: where you went, what you did, what you spotted
-
Suggest new ideas and opportunities that fit our brand
Your work creates the visibility, energy, and community presence that drives new customers into the shop.
Why Join Us
-
Be part of a friendly, supportive local team
-
Flexible hours that fit around your life
-
Active, social, enjoyable work - not stuck indoors
