WTD: Permanent Events Staff (Full & Part Time)
Discussion
I put some roles on Job Centre today, so thought would post here as well (edited to fit part and full time roles)....
VACANCIES
Permanent:
Full Time Event Professional - with weekends as part of the standard working week. £18-22k
Part-time Events Assistants - Regular weekends often Friday-Sunday Circa £8/hour (or day/weekend rate as agreed)
Working throughout the UK (occasionally overseas).
Applicants must be able to start most journeys from our base in Little Chalfont, Bucks (near jct 18, M25). Transport to events is provided.
ROLE DESCRIPTION
Typical duties involve setting up equipment and assisting with the running/hosting at events. Workshop and office duties between events (full time roles). Reporting to our Events Managers.
Driving event equipment to location (typically 7.5t HGV, Box Van & Trailer).
System installation / build and testing.
During the event, assist in the operation and running of the equipment.
System breakdown and return journeys.
All roles require regular weekends, bank holidays and typically long working hours with regular 2-5 day periods away from home.
In many cases, event staff accommodation involves staying on-site/camping with the equipment. This is often the most convenient accommodation and in some cases is required in order to provide personnel on site. In other cases, hotel accommodation will be arranged and provided.
Between events (full-time roles) the successful applicant will be required to help at our base near Amersham, Bucks. This may be workshop or office based duties, but will be determined by demand and relevant skills of the applicant.
This is a unique opportunity to join the team of one of the UK’s most successful, innovative and fastest growing event providers. The Racing Bug is in the business of putting smiles on faces and always delivers the most vibrant and exciting element of any event. Events take place at high profile Shows, Exhibitions, Race Meetings, Corporate Events and Product Launches throughout the UK & overseas and The Racing Bug goes out of its way to over deliver in all aspects of Event Management.
As a relatively new and rapidly growing business we can offer ‘fast track’ opportunities for outstanding employees to grow and progress within the company.

Yeah, don't apply if you like doing the same thing all day everyday. Genuine entry-level opportunity for someone with an interest in events. No denying it's bloomin' hard work.
Have 23 applications in my inbox from a job advertised only yesterday afternoon! Granted the vast majority are going straight in the recycle bin, but hopefully find the right people out there somewhere.
