Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

This position requires someone confident in managing a large pool of volunteers (approximately 150 or more) encompassing a very broad demographic. You must be highly organised and able to roster/schedule volunteers to a wide variety of shifts for each event. Things change quickly on event days, so you need to be able to problem solve and think on your feet at adapt the roster at a moment’s notice to ensure key roles are covered.

This role will be minimum 1 day per week, increasing up to 5 days per week during peak event delivery times, including, but not limited to:

- Floriade 4-week period mid-September to mid-October

- Other events throughout the calendar year may increase operational requirements for this position and this will be managed on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the employee and manager as required
- The volunteer coordinator is expected to be on site during event operational hours as per a roster to direct and support the volunteer team throughout their shifts. This role will require you to be regularly on your feet, walking around outdoor event sites in all kinds of weather (appropriate uniforms provided) sometimes on weekends, public holidays and during night-time events.

If you are looking for a casual role and can be available during event delivery times as per above and regularly throughout the rest of the year one day per week, if you are an exceptional organiser who enjoys engaging with all kinds of people from all walks of life and would like to make a significant contribution to the events we deliver in the ACT then we want to hear from you.
