Festival operations:

 

We have multiple roles available for the operations! With last year under our belt, we have a much better idea of where we need people and how many people we need for each area. Please find detailed information about the roles below.

 

Creature overseers.

(Area steward)

This is a dynamic and diverse role. You will be stationed within an area, working under a team lead for that area. You will be available to help attendees who have any requirements or questions. If it is something you cannot answer or do yourself, you will be required to pass the attendee onto the team lead who will look after the attendee. Area stewards may be required to do ‘runs’ from area to area, relay messages and assist in general operations. This roles is an ‘allrounder’. You are the ‘runners’ and assistants of the festival. Disclaimer: Running is an industry term, you will not be required to run anywhere!

There is also the role of ‘car park steward’, however this is a role which will only be active for short periods of time, specifically when guests are arriving in high numbers.

 

The forest wardens.

(Grounds maintenance)

This role is specifically relating to cleanliness and tidiness. Forest wardens will be required to walk the grounds, picking up any rubbish using litter pickers. Wardens will assist the ground manager in emptying the bins and depositing the contents into the skip. Wardens also make checks on the toilets, showers and hand wash stations, to ensure everything is clean and tidy. This role is physically active.

 

​

Potion merchant.

(Bar Crew)

This year we are looking for more additions to the exciting bar crew. We are looking for people with prior bar experience and mixologists. Our heads of bar are looking forwards to crafting our own cocktails this year, and are looking for people who understand the details when it comes to cocktails. Bar crew is social, fun and a bit crazy! You will be required to shout LAMP at least once.

 

​

Guardians of the gates.

(Gate and registration crew)

Outer gate crew will be joined by an SIA officer, to help check in cars. This involves asking cars to present tickets and IDs, then directing them to the carpark.

Registration desk includes working with SIA security members to check people into the festival. Registration involves checking peoples ID’s, finding ticket details and ensuring people get their standard, sponsor and VIP packages. This role will be fast paced on Friday afternoon and potentially Saturday when attendees arrive.

 

​

Keeper of the Showers.

(Shower steward)

This is a solo role where you will be stationed with the showers to take shower tokens and ensure people are leaving the showers in a timely fashion. This isn’t just to ensure we save the gas for the showers, it is to ensure the safety of those showering! If someone hasn’t come out of the shower in a while, there may be something wrong. Plus, it would be appreciated if the shower stewards keep an eye on the state of the showers themselves. Therefore, shower stewards need to be alert and approachable.

 

​

Team leads.

This is a specialist role which requires the applicant to have good people and leadership skills. Being a team lead involves managing and overseeing all volunteers within a specific area of the festival. This includes ensuring volunteers are at their posts, are on time and are alright. Volunteers will come to you first with any issues they are unsure about or unable to address by themselves. Your job will also be overseeing general operations within your area, keeping an eye on everything that is going on around you.

 

​

Adventure conductor.

(Events coordinator).

Events coordinators will stick to an allocated events schedule within their shift hours, bouncing from place, making sure the events all have what they need to run and are comfortable. This may include helping them set up, or just making sure they are where they are supposed to be. The events coordinator will be a direct point of contact for events, activities and acts.

 

​

Photography and videography… wizards.

We are looking for more photographers and we are very keen on having multiple dedicated videographers. Alongside roaming shifts, we are going to be allocating specific events, features and photoshoots to photographers and videographers. This role is more free form and autonomous. 

 

Theatrics extraordinaire.

(Character and costume actors)
