7 days ago

Geelong, Victoria, Australia beBeeCommunity Full time $33,600 - $52,800

We are seeking hosts to lead local community sessions and bring people together in a thoughtful, welcoming manner.

About the Role

This role involves managing and leading weekly sessions in your area. Each session is designed to be low-pressure, inclusive, and welcoming for attendees.

Your Key Responsibilities
  • Welcome guests and create a friendly environment that connects with every individual.
  • Lead short group activities (10–15 min) at each session.
  • Host casual coffee catch-ups after each session to encourage conversation and help others build friendships and community.
  • Coordinate event sessions and booking facilitators/practitioners from our network.
  • Set up and pack down each session.
  • Welcome and check participants in on arrival, ensuring registrations/payouts are complete.
  • Assist to promote local sessions in your area and be an ambassador for the initiative.
Time Commitment

The time commitment per session is approximately 2 hours, including set up, structured session, and hosting coffee catch-up.

Who We're Looking For

This role is ideal for individuals who are naturally social, warm, and great at putting others at ease – especially those who love creating meaningful conversations and connections in real life.

You Might Be A Good Fit If:
  • You're an actor, performer, or teaching artist looking for flexible work.
  • You're an extrovert who thrives on community and helping people feel included.
  • You're a natural leader who's often the first to introduce new people or start a group chat.
  • You're a network builder who loves connecting people with similar interests.
  • You genuinely care about helping introverted or lonely people feel safe, welcome, and supported.
Requirements

To succeed in this role, you'll need:

  • Confidence working with small groups in public spaces and leading short activities that build connection amongst group members.
  • Strong organisational skills and a calm, embracing, presence.
  • Exceptional communication skills.
  • A desire to be a community leader advocating against loneliness through building local connections.
  • A current First Aid Certificate (including CPR).
  • Your own ABN and valid Public Liability/Professional Indemnity Insurance.
  • Ideally, a Working With Children Check and current Police Check.
What We Provide

We support you so you can focus on making each session meaningful. As a host, you'll receive:

  • A ready-to-go Event Kit for the season, including equipment, signage, and basic session supplies.
  • All venue hire/permit arrangements and fees handled by our team.
  • Ticket management and attendee management by us, including a user-friendly ticketing platform.
  • A trusted network of trained facilitators/practitioners for every session.
  • Marketing templates and plans to promote sessions locally and on social media.
  • Ongoing support by phone and email, as well as host training and optional networking events.
  • Opportunities to participate in or run additional events (additional earning opportunities).
  • The ability to promote your own business at other community events.
How You're Paid

This is a contractor role, not an employee position. You'll be paid a flat monthly fee plus a percentage of ticket sales from your hosted sessions.

Why Become A Host?

Be part of a social initiative making a tangible difference to end loneliness through building community connections. Meet and work with like-minded individuals. Build your own presence and brand in the local community. Support your own small business or passion project through co-branding opportunities. Gain access to training, mentoring, and business-building support. Help people feel seen, welcomed, and connected.
