Liverpool Irish Festival is proud to work with volunteers. Their volunteers help them talk about the festival, give audiences a great experience and help venues in delivering a wide variety of activities and shows, ensuring each is of great quality and enjoyable.
If the idea of joining the volunteer team appeals to you, click here to read the Volunteer Pack.
It contains all you need to know (initially, at least!) about volunteering and it contains a link to a short, online application form.
The form is split in to sections. Initially it takes you through eligibility questions, so that if you are ineligible, they don’t waste your time collecting details they will not be able to use. Then they require:
- your contact details
- an emergency contact
- a bit on why you want to volunteer with the Liverpool Irish Festival and how you found out about the opportunity
- your medical history (only aspects that may affect your ability to perform volunteer duties)
- equality monitoring
- two referees you will allow us to approach.
Monitoring questions about gender, ethnicity, nationality and age are important for them to share with stakeholders and funders to demonstrate how they work equitably with communities.
They have tried to make this as easy to complete as possible and although these sections will not be used as part of your recruitment they are essential to build evidence about working practices, so please complete as much as you can. You will not be able to move on to the next question unless an answer is complete.
The deadline for 2018 applications is Sun 29 Sept 2019. After this we will issue reference checks before bringing all the recruited volunteers together ahead of this year’s festival.
