Please read this form carefully...

Volunteer applications will be assessed after the closing date. Wildernest directors may contact volunteers to arrange an interview. Suitability will be assessed and an email informing the applicant of their placement - or not - will be sent along with a contract outlining obligations for both parties and the area of voluntary work (if relevant). Applicants should be over 20 with Crew and Site Managers over 25. Applicants with driving experience will take preference. Wildernest will provide each volunteer with a roster. Volunteering with Wildernest over the 2014/2015 season can include either 1 or all 6 well regarded festivals; in chronological order, R&V, R&A, Northern Bass, Wanderlust, Splore and WOMAD. Volunteers play an important role in the operations and delivery of the events. We are currently looking for crew in all areas such as; pack in and pack out crew, site and crew management, reception, housekeeping, crew cooks, barista etc... In past years we have had many volunteers assisting and supporting key staff during the festivals. We are looking for keen, hard working, totally committed, personable, sharing & caring people. A LOVE of early mornings is essential and the ability to work hard WHATEVER THE WEATHER is vital! Wildernest crew work can be very physical. Set up & take down days are hard and long but you’ll have fun working as part of a team, enjoying the outdoors and being able to enjoy a festival in your time off. We appreciate and acknowledge the importance of the volunteer and thank you in advance for your application

CONDITIONS OF VOLUNTEER *

Wildernest places trust in and around our volunteers to assist us in presenting a quality experience to our guests. To ensure that all areas of the Wildernest Village run smoothly and efficiently, we rely on you as a volunteer to turn up and work your allocated shifts. You will be asked to buy your festival ticket/s, which allow you entry to the festival as an audience member for the hours you are not working. The ticket cost will then be refunded in to your bank account after the festival has ended. Volunteers will be required to attend a briefing & health and safety induction. You will need to find your own accommodation for the duration of your work with Wildernest or depending on if we have tents available we may supply a tent, we will let you know before each festival. When on the Festival sites the volunteer agrees to abide by the companies rules and policies and follow health and safety procedures. Either party may end this arrangement at any time. If you choose to do so, you must inform your supervisor. Failure to complete a rostered shift as agreed may result in you being required to forfeit your wristband and therefore you will be unable to enter the festival. There are two different options for Volunteering for a ticket to the festival, either: Complete 18 hours of volunteer work DURING the festival as rostered. (This does not include training sessions or briefings) OR Complete 24 hours of volunteer work either BEFORE, or AFTER the festival as rostered. (This does not include training sessions or briefings). I hereby agree that I understand and agree to the above terms and that I will:

Complete 18 hours of volunteer work DURING the festival as rostered. (This does not include training sessions or briefings) OR

Complete 24 hours of volunteer work either BEFORE, or AFTER the festival as rostered. (This does not include training sessions or briefings).

I understand that if I do not fulfill my part of the agreement (i.e. collect my festival ticket but do not turn up to my allocated shifts) I will be invoiced for the ticket or may be asked to vacate the festival site.

I understand that if I do not fulfill my part of the agreement by completing the rostered hours that I will not have the cost of the festival ticket refunded.

In the event of accident, misadventure or illness, I will contact the Wildernest director as early as circumstances allow so that a replacement may be found for the roster.

In exchange for my voluntary work I will be refunded of the cost of my festival ticket at the end of the festival.

If offered a volunteer position, I agree to abide by the above conditions. *
