DOSE Fest Administration & Festival Support Volunteer

October 2026 – July 2027 | Approx. 2–3 hours per week | Voluntary

DOSE Fest is growing and we’re looking for a brilliant, organised person to help us keep everything moving behind the scenes.

Following the success of our inaugural festival, we’re building towards a bigger DOSE Fest in 2027 and developing an exciting year-round programme along the way.

As our Administration & Festival Support Volunteer, you’ll work closely with our Operational Lead and wider DOSE Fest team, helping us manage the communication, information and practical details that bring a festival together.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting and monitoring the DOSE Fest email inbox

• Responding to routine enquiries and directing others to the appropriate team member

• Communicating with vendors, activity providers, partners and other festival contacts

• Sending application forms, information and follow-up communications

• Keeping spreadsheets, contact lists and festival information accurate and organised

• Following up outstanding information such as forms, insurance documents and risk assessments

• Helping the Operational Lead keep track of actions, deadlines and information

• Supporting occasional administrative tasks connected with DOSE Fest events and activities throughout the year

Who we're looking for

You might be a student, graduate, early-career administrator or simply someone with great organisational skills and a few hours each week to contribute.

You don't need previous festival experience. We're looking for someone who is:

• Organised and dependable

• Friendly and confident communicating by email

• Comfortable using everyday digital tools and spreadsheets

• Able to keep track of information and follow things through

• Happy working independently while staying connected with the wider team

• Someone who enjoys bringing order to lots of moving parts!

Experience with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office or similar tools would be useful, but we're equally interested in someone who is keen to learn.

What you'll gain

This is an opportunity to:

• Gain hands-on experience supporting the organisation of a growing community festival

• Develop practical administration, communication and event coordination skills

• Build meaningful experience for your CV

• Work directly with an experienced operational and festival team

• Develop confidence communicating with external organisations, partners and providers

• Take ownership of an important area of the festival operation

• See how a large community event develops from planning through to delivery

You'll become a genuine part of the team behind DOSE Fest — helping turn all the ideas, people and moving parts into something that works.

Time commitment: Approximately 2–4 hours per week

Period: September 2026 – August 2027

Location: Predominantly remote, with opportunities to attend DOSE Fest activities and events

Position: Voluntary/unpaid. There may be opportunities for paid work in the future as the project grows and funding is secured.

Interested?

We'd love to hear a little about you, why you'd like to get involved and what you could bring to the DOSE Fest team.
