ABOUT THE TASK AND THE ROLE
We are looking for a year-round volunteer co-creator who is ready to contribute both before and during the festival, starting as soon as possible.
As the Volunteer Coordinator, your task will be to staff Light House Bar's approximately 120 bartender shifts:
- You will be responsible for recruiting volunteers, both new and returning.
- You will prepare shift schedules for the bar's operating hours over all 7 days.
- You will manage primary communication with the volunteers, including via Facebook.
- You will ensure that training for all volunteers is planned and conducted before the bar opens.
- You will focus on the overall well-being of the team.
- You are willing to participate in relevant meetings leading up to the festival, primarily on weekday evenings in Copenhagen/Roskilde.
ABOUT YOU
First and foremost, you are great with people. You can collaborate with a wide variety of individuals, motivate them in different ways, and communicate clearly and kindly. Experience in volunteer coordination is an advantage.
It is beneficial if you have previously volunteered at Roskilde Festival, but it is not a requirement. Similarly, leadership experience can also be an advantage.
- You have an interest in recruitment and a knack for communication, preferably including experience with social media.
- You are familiar with the Microsoft Office suite and accustomed to responding to emails in Outlook; experience with Excel is a big plus.
- You are eager to participate in social events, team evenings, professional meetings, and parties. Most events and in-person meetings take place in Copenhagen and Roskilde.
- You have strong written communication skills in both Danish and English (as we receive many inquiries from international volunteers).
ABOUT US
As the Volunteer Coordinator, you will join the team of volunteer leaders in Team Bars, which consists of approximately 50 volunteer leaders, association contacts, and 2,300 volunteers. We are part of Roskilde Festival, and all profits go toward the festival's charitable purposes. Team Bars operates within the Trade, Food, and Beverage division, running a range of cocktail bars and beer sales.
By joining Team Bars, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime experience while supporting a great cause. We offer:
- The opportunity to be part of a highly dedicated group of volunteers
- Guidance and influence over your tasks
- Plenty of social events before, during, and after the festival
You will receive ongoing support and training from your team leaders and other experienced leaders in Team Bars. It’s important to understand that you won’t have to handle everything on your own—you will be part of a team where everyone contributes together.
WANT TO JOIN US?
You can contact Kenneth Liin either by phone at +45 25727225 or via email at Kenneth.Liin@roskilde-festival.dk. Please share a bit about yourself and explain why you are interested in joining. Feel free to attach your CV as well.
We will conduct interviews on an ongoing basis and will take down the posting once we find the right candidate.
