    £12.5–£13.5 hourly
    Part-time
    Royal Arsenal, London

    We’re always looking for new crew members to join us and help deliver the Ultra Challenge Series to high standards – with 18 or so unique events across the country during our event season. It’s fun & rewarding – with a range of roles that will suit those with previous outdoor event experience – or individuals looking to break into the world of events – or anyone who’s simply after interesting & worthwhile weekend work or volunteering. 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. You will be at the core of our events team with different roles over the event weekend. 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, and shift patterns for the event. 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. As you gain experience working on our events, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility as the event season progresses, and we are always on the lookout for Site Managers & Assistant Site Managers. For more information about the Ultra Challenges please head to: We have a number of roles throughout the events, if you think you are an ideal candidate for this job, please get in touch to register your interest joining the Ultra Challenge Team.
