Some lifting and other walking tasks may be a part of the role including standing for periods of time. If these types of tasks are inaccessible for you, please note this on your application. Our festival has a COVID Safe Plan & will be operating under this guideline. We would encourage people to apply who are happy to be in close proximity to the general public and very conscious of working with the guidelines we will need to operate in this year.  We will provide PPE where required.
