Crew Positions:
We currently have the following positions available:
1. Door Staff.
We need door staff (1-2 people at a time) to run the door at nearly all events.
To perform this role you will need to have a copy of the door list so that you can tick off patrons who have bought tickets. You will also need to check-in artists and volunteers as they arrive and check-in their plus 1s. All patrons will need to be issued with a wrist band. There may be a need to process cash transactions or get people to pay via an electronic form which we can send out.
2. Security.
We are looking to have one or two people per shift provide informal security at our events. The security staff will wear hi-vis vests and will be there to keep an eye on things and raise the alarm if there are any incidents. Security can mostly kick back and enjoy the festivities but will need to stay "somewhat" sober for the duration of their shift. Security will also need to walk around occassionally to check on areas such as the toilets and car park.
3. First Aid.
If you posses a qualification in First Aid, then you are suitable for this position. RPG has a full first aid setup. Given the small size of our events it is possible to do both Security and First Aid at the same time.
4. Kitchen and Toilets.
At all of our events we plan to have a kitchen space where we will cook dinner. Food is an important part of the event for punters for safety reasons as well as for nurturance and general well-being. The food may vary from event to event but will typically be things like a BBQ with salads or curries and rice, with vegetarian and vegan options available. This food will need to be prepared beforehand and then served onsite. We will liaise with you about the purchasing of ingredients and we will provide you with cookware and utensils. Next to the kitchen will be a water station which will also need to be maintained, and at some events there will also be fires to look after. We will provide several bins with rubbish bags and the waste will need to be managed.
Finally, different sites will have different toilet situations, but the one thing you can count on is that some toilets will always be there! These toilets need to be checked and cleaned a couple of times over the course of the night. We will provide some electric candles, incense and hand sanitiser for the toilet space, as well as additional toilet paper.
We generally need two crew to run the kitchen and toilet spaces.
5. Setup and Pack Up.
We are aiming to be very efficient at setup and packup, with our target being two hours for each for most events. In order to achieve this we need some helping hands to do the work. Setup is usually a bit more challenging than pack-up in terms of complexity, but packup is usually harder to do energy-wise because we are tired from a big night. If you are looking to take on this role you need to be available from mid-afternoon at the latest and then planning on staying on until the end of the event.
7. Photographer / Videographer.
We realised the other day that although we have already run a number of events, we have actually got very little media from those events. This is something we are looking to rectify! If you would be interested in assisting us with this by coming to our events and taking photos and videos that would be appreciated. We will chat to you about fees, intellectual property rights, etc, and we can come up with a deal.
In General
It is quite possible to work multiple shifts over the course of the event if you wish to do so. We are very appreciative of your help and without it we would struggle to run the event! If you take on more than one role we will compensate you accordingly.
Crew Rewards
All crew will get free entry to the event for themselves and for a plus 1. You also get a free meal for yourself and your plus 1, as well as some free drinks. It's a good way to party for free! We have started paying crew wages for some roles.
