About the Role 

The Onsite Music Office Support role is solely based onsite (days to be confirmed). The role’s purpose is to support the smooth day-to-day running of the onsite office by keeping things ticking over, helping with things such as ensuring the office is kept tidy, supplies never run low, and helping with light touch administration where needed.

We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including those traditionally underrepresented in festivals and events.

  • Helping with staff ticket/meal changes if needed
