Red Bull UK is currently recruiting for an Festival & Events Assistant (6 Months FTC) to be based in the UK.

The Festival Activator Programme is one of the most important parts of the Red Bull UK Festival & Events Strategy. You’re the face of the company across the festival circuit; a positive, knowledgeable, and proactive attitude is essential.

There will be some inconsistent hours, long days and a lot of travelling – the Festival & Events Assistant will have to be able to work hard and play hard! It is an incredibly physical job that will require a lot of heavy lifting, walking and sleeping onsite in tents.

We would require our Festival & Events Assistant to have a clean drivers license in order to hire cars & vans throughout the summer.

As the Festival & Events Assistant, we will supply you with a mobile phone and a laptop in order for you to lead on all advancing and be in contact with various POCs onsite.

It is vital you are able to commit to working most weekends in the summer from Monday 18th May to Tuesday 14th September. Also to be available for an assessment day for the Festival Activators on Tuesday 14th April, should your application be successful.

It’s not for the faint hearted! Although you will be exhausted you will have the best summer ever.

We’d be looking for the successful candidate to start in early April in order to be fully prepared for the Festival Season ahead and be fully involved with the hiring of our Festival Activator team.
