Join the team
Here in Winchester we have a small team of local volunteers who work together to host a podcast channel as well as to continually encourage more organisations to open their doors and run events. The team also curate the website, social media, run an online box office and produce the printed programme and press releases alongside fundraising and supporting new and existing event organisers.
There is plenty of work to be done behind the scenes every year, from podcasting to festival administration to communications and fundraising. We also need festival stewards at venues. We have volunteers who help us 2 to 3 days a week, others who help for just a few hours and a few who only volunteer during the festival itself.
Vacancies are listed at the bottom of this page but we are happy to take on volunteers year round as there are always opportunities for individuals who are organised, are polite and professional, and able to work in a team along side people at all levels. Currently everyone works from home, with regular team meetings are on Zoom and occasional in-person sessions. Some roles require the ability to work under pressure and previous experience in a festival or administrative environment, but other roles just need a willingness to learn and to “pitch in” as required!
So if you love community festivals and/or podcasts, and are prepared to commit your time and passion for heritage and history we’d be delighted to hear from you.
