You must be highly organised and able to roster/schedule volunteers to a wide variety of shifts for each event.

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.
