Bar staff wanted for The Big Chill
February 19th, 2009 by sparky
Creativevents have the pleasure in operating all the bars for this fantastic event for a second year. We’re looking for positive and happy people who want to be a part of our team working on the busy bars. This is a great way to experience the unique and magical atmosphere of The Big Chill, whilst having an opportunity to earn some good money at the same time!
Bar experience is preferred, but not essential as we provide all the training that you will need to ensure that you are able to do your job confidently and enjoy being part of the team. All we ask is that you have a positive and fun outlook to everything and want to join in and have some fun!
Working dates are from 7th - 9th August and shifts will be approximately 10-12 hours long with a hourly rate of £6.50.
There will be a staff campsite for all of us to rest, relax and refresh ourselves in, all you need to do is bring a tent and we’re even sorting out breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are coming from London then don’t worry as we will be providing coaches to take us to the event.
If you are interested in joining us and having some fun then don’t delay, get in touch with us today and send your CV and a recent photo to staff@cevents.co.uk quoting code BC09 on your application.
Don’t forget to check out our websites for more of an idea of what we do;

Is it too late to apply for this job?

If you apply for any jobs, how long will it be before you know if you’ve got it?
And If you’re working behind the bar will you need a ticket?

Hi Mary,
please contact;
Creative Events for bar info - staff@cevents.co.uk
Network Recycling for Leave No Trace info - events@networkrecycling.co.uk
BC Stewarding team for stewarding info - stewards@bigchill.net
If you’re working in any of these positions, you will not need a ticket. However, if you work on the Leave No Trace team you will need to pay deposit of £150, which will be refunded after the festival (once the job’s done).

July 2nd, 2009 at 6:22 pm
