Specific Tasks: |
|
Desired Requirements: |
An excellent level of fitness is required as Bump-out volunteers are on their feet, walking on the hard-concrete floor. Lifting and stretching are a requirement of this role. A basic understanding of manual handling procedures (the correct way to lift heavy/large items) would be an advantage although manual handling training will be provided.

Skills Acquired / Role Benefit |

Breaks: |
Water and a tea/coffee station are available all day. NOTE: A light lunch is provided if you are rostered for full day. There are refrigerators available to store your own provisions. |
Role Risks: |
A high-visibility vest and gloves are provided for this role. Remember to wear comfortable clothes and comfortable shoes as you will be walking on a hard-concrete floor.
It is a requirement for all volunteers and staff working at this event to wear enclosed shoes.
During the bump-out of the event, the exhibition loading doors remain open and air-conditioning is not operating at this time. The halls can become hot, particularly during the summer months. It is important that volunteers in this role drink plenty of water, are mindful of manual handling techniques and have self-awareness of repetitive movement and how it affects their wellbeing – it’s okay to say ‘no’.
Advise a Lifeline team member if you require a break. |
