Action Challenge specialises in creating unique challenges and in 2024 over 36,000 people took on one of our ‘Ultra Challenge’ events, which is now the UK’s leading series of treks & trail runs and raises over £10 million for charity each year. In 2025 we plan to build on that success and help more people achieve their personal goals. We have an excellent event’s team who bring these events to life and deliver first class support & hospitality for participants. We’re on the lookout for hardworking & resilient individuals to join our team and get involved in something special. Experience: You will either have experience working on mass participation events, outdoors events, catering or hospitality experience, or you just feel you have what it takes to work as part of a team, and have the determination to thrive on events with a ‘can-do’ attitude. As work can sometimes be labour intensive – ideally you should be physically fit and be willing to help with some lifting! We are looking for someone who is reliable and wants to become part of a close-knit team putting on some of the UK’s best events.

This may include site set-up on the Thursday &/or Friday including some heavy lifting, setting up tents, gazebos, event branding, hospitality & merchandise areas, the registration zone and working to deadlines to get the event sites in great shape for participants. Over the weekend ‘event days’ it’s all about providing the best experience – ranging from: when they arrive, manning information/ registration areas/ hot drinks stations, timing, checking participants into the campsite, to presenting participants with their medals, t-shirts and a glass of fizz when they finish their challenge. You will learn on the job from our experienced Event Crew, and will have the option to select your preferred choice of working days when completing your event availability. We allocate shifts dependent on crew availability, shift patterns for the event, and this may also be through the night with a paid 5-hour sleep break included in your weekend shift if applicable. We are seeking new crew members who can commit to work on several of our Ultra Challenge events over the season (which runs from late March – mid October) and to become part of our successful, fun event team.

We have a number of roles throughout the events, you must be 18 or older to apply for this job, live in the UK and must be willing to travel around the UK for the events.
