Your possible areas of deployment include:

At the Info Point, you'll be the first port of call for our visitors. You'll answer questions on a wide range of topics, including the event schedule, site layout, food and drink options, restroom locations, parking, and emergency contact numbers. A friendly and helpful attitude goes a long way here, as does a good familiarity with the venue and programme – so you can point every visitor in the right direction.

At the VIP area entrance, you'll be responsible for checking access authorisations and ensuring a smooth entry process for all (VIP) guests. This includes verifying coloured wristbands and accreditations, as well as welcoming and attending to guests in a friendly and professional manner throughout check-in. You'll also be on hand to answer questions, provide guidance when needed, and coordinate with security personnel or the wider event team as required.

As part of the raffle team, you'll be in charge of selling tickets and handing out prizes. You'll be the first point of contact for our guests – explaining how the raffle works, taking their orders, and selling them their tickets. Once the draw takes place, you'll pull the winning tickets and present the prizes to the lucky winners.

As part of the competition management support team, your responsibilities include documenting and recording results during competitions, as well as checking net heights in accordance with the official rules and regulations of each sport – ensuring fair conditions for all participants.

This is the role for you if you have a passion for sport and competition.

As an Athlete Coordinator, you'll be responsible for supporting and looking after the athletes throughout the event. Your job is to make sure they feel comfortable in the lounge and have everything they need – from drinks, snacks, and refreshments to a welcoming atmosphere and answers to any questions. You'll also handle organisational matters, such as passing on information about schedules, event procedures, and training times, working closely with our competition management team to keep everything running smoothly.

As part of the sand area supervision team, you'll be responsible for the safety and proper use of the sand areas – for example during the public viewing or when the beach volleyball courts are open for free use. You'll keep an eye on all activities taking place on the sand to ensure that visitors behave safely and respect the rules.

As a host for our wide range of sports and creative workshops and DIY activities, you'll be supporting visitors as they take part in various hands-on and craft activities throughout the event. You'll explain the activities to guests, provide materials and tools, and offer guidance as they work on their creative projects. This includes things like our activity trail, beer pong tournament, glitter bar, and photo booth. Above all, this role calls for a good dose of creativity!

As the main point of contact for our volunteers, your primary responsibilities revolve around managing the volunteer tent area during the event. This includes welcoming and registering new volunteers, providing information materials and equipment, and answering any questions they may have. You may also be involved in coordinating volunteer shifts, drawing up deployment schedules, and keeping track of attendance. You'll make sure the tent is a welcoming and comfortable space and serve as the go-to person for whatever our volunteers need.

Being a floater means providing flexible support across a variety of areas throughout the event. Your job is to step in wherever you're needed – whether that's setting up or breaking down equipment, looking after visitors, assisting with special activities, or lending a hand with other tasks. This gives you a particularly broad behind-the-scenes experience and the chance to get a taste of every area of the event.

As a floater, you'll need to be adaptable and quick to respond to new situations. If switching gears and meeting new challenges on the fly comes naturally to you, you'll be right at home in this role – helping to keep the event running without a hitch.
