Throughout Our Year, we will be hosting a number of large and small-scale public events – we need friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to support the Events Team at our festivals and events.

A steward will be required to:

• Provide information and signposting to event attendees as needed (for example to nearest toilets, recycling stations, parking)
• Help out with any tasks on the day that ensure the smooth running of the event, as directed by the supervisor
• Understand and implement procedures calmly and quickly in the event of a fire or other threat, including knowing the location of fire exits
• Ensure there is no overcrowding at entry/exit points
• Help and assist event attendees where needed, in a calm, polite and friendly manner
• Know the location of the first aid station and any first aid equipment, and contact designated first-aider in cases of emergency
• Understand methods or signals used to alert staff that an emergency has arisen
• Recognise potential hazards or safety concerns, reporting such findings immediately to supervisors
• Be able and willing to work evenings and weekends, where needed
