Stewarding Team

Stewarding Team

DBS required

Our Stewards are crucial in ensuring the event runs smoothly and is a safe and secure place for everyone. The team directs and coordinates delegates, volunteers, contractors and suppliers around the site, so we are looking for people who are confident, reliable, decisive, calm under pressure and able to do all this with a smile!

 

The sub-teams of the Stewards are:

General Day Team (ages 16+)

This team covers most of the site (including some seminar venues) and involves ensuring safety and assisting in any way to help things run smoothly. Stewards need to be polite, friendly and outgoing, good at communicating clearly, calm under pressure and able to be assertive if necessary.

All Team will receive training pre-site and on-site, and those over 17 years will need to undergo a DBS check as part of the application process (see the main Teams page for further info).

 

You will need:

  • A heart to serve.
  • Be a team player.
  • Previous experience isn’t essential – we’ll train you, and you’ll be serving with experienced team members.
  • You will spend much of your time standing/walking outside, so warm clothing, waterproofs, sturdy footwear, and stamina are essential!

 

Hours

You will be allocated to a team of Stewards; each team rotates across various shift times, covering a range of different duties. This system gives everyone variety, as well as ensuring that duties are fairly distributed. You will find out your shift team and times before the event starts. Each shift is around 8 hours, with breaks.

 

New Wine wouldn’t exist without our army of volunteers – there are thousands! We know how important you are to the New Wine family and want to make sure you are valued.

Each Team member pays a non-refundable £30 fee. This is to contribute to the significant costs of administering all the necessary management and administration, which New Wine meets the majority of centrally as an organisation. You will also need to provide your own accommodation (either on or off-site).

  1. Make sure you follow the correct link to apply for your chosen Team (e.g., Young Team 13-17 years have a separate application form to adult team)

Referees

Volunteers come into contact with many people and are in varying positions of responsibility. It is for this reason that we ask each applicant to provide two referees.
