If you can handle a degree of responsibility, enjoy teamwork, have a sense of humour – and perhaps like staying up really, really late - the newdayAssist teams need you.

newdayAssist – Stewarding

Play a vital role in the smooth running of the meetings at newday! This responsible role involves ensuring everyone on site is able to participate in all areas of the event without disturbing others and whilst maintaining delegate safety and compliance with site rules. You might find yourself welcoming delegates to the main meetings or perhaps being responsible for a seminar venue. If you like meeting people, can anticipate their needs and are good at problem-solving, you’ll love this team – and it’s a great way to work and still participate in the meetings and seminars.

Site Facilities & Maintenance
If you like variety, hard work and lots of laughs then this is the team for you! There’s a whole heap of things that need loading, recording, mending, sticking, taping, checking, unblocking, fencing and unloading. If you are practical, or able to use your initiative and improvise, then this team has your name on it. We need both ladies and gents for loads of different jobs, especially those who would like to use their DIY experience, and we’re always on the lookout for skilled plumbers and carpenters that can help us too. You’ll work in small teams in shifts, so there is bound to be a time that will suit you. (Steel toe-capped shoes would be a definite advantage but all other personal protective equipment will be provided.)

Supplies & Resources
We need people who are well-organised and good at administration to help on this vital team. You’ll be making sure that our stores are well-stocked, ordering and purchasing supplies for other teams and delivering stuff around site. A clean driving licence would be a real advantage, as we may well need you to pick up supplies off-site. And if you could be there for Setup too, that would be great – it’s this team’s busiest time.
