We have some new paid jobs at Latitude Festival now available!
No night shifts + you get to see all of the headliners? Sounds like a sweet deal 👀
You can apply now to join our small team of facilities monitors at Latitude Festival this week!
We should clarify one thing before we continue, the job absolutely does not involve you cleaning any toilets!
Think of those times you've been at a festival and needed to pop to the toilet, only to find them all out of order, or even with no loo roll. We've got a mission to change those experiences!
We need you to help make sure every toilet trip at Latitude Festival is as pleasant as possible! ✨
You'll be making sure the Latitude Festival campsite and arena toilet blocks are in tip top condition, and reporting anything that needs fixing, cleaning, or restocking ASAP directly to the festival's designated toilet crew, then making sure it gets sorted so that no toilets are out of action 👍
Again, we should remind you, you're not required to clean the toilets yourself at any time! There's another team onsite just for that! ✅
We're looking for people who are happy working independently at a location within the festival's campsites or arena. As always, you'll have the support of the Hotbox team around you for any questions about the role.
You'll need to be responsible and committed to the mission of lovelier loos at Latitude. You'll need to be confident with radio usage (full training will be given at the beginning of the festival) as you'll be tasking the toilet cleaning crews directly when there's a problem that needs fixing, then taking the initiative to follow up until the issue is resolved.
You'll need to arrive on Tuesday 18th July (after midday) for a briefing that evening. You'll then work 1x 6-hour shift everyday Wednesday to Sunday (last shift on Sunday). There are no night shifts, so you'll be able to catch the headliners every evening!
There are 2 different shift patterns to choose from:
Team Alpha
Team Bravo
We're also interested in hearing from people who can arrive on Wednesday and are interested in working Thursday to Sunday, if that sounds like you drop us an email to info@hotboxevents.com
Pay is £11.76 per hour including holiday pay (for those on PAYE). You'll also receive one meal voucher per shift to use at crew catering.
Plus, when not on shift you're free to enjoy the festival! 🎪
If you like the sound of being paid to come to Latitude Festival login and apply now!
Also, if you were keen to join us as a paid tower steward or volunteer at Latitude Festival but missed your chance a few spots have become available, so we've just reopened those applications too! This is your last chance to join us if you'd like to be at Latitude 2023!
If there is anything you would like to ask or you would just like to chat with us about, the easiest way is to...
You can connect with us @hotboxevents on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn
If you would like to chat with others who have joined us before head to our Facebook Group and Forum
On Facebook and in our Forum you will find new and returning staff and volunteers chatting about what it is like to join us at festivals, arranging to share lifts, asking and answering questions about working at festivals and making new friends!
If you have not joined us at a festival before and are wondering what it is like, check out some of our staff and volunteer interviews!
In the interviews you will get to hear from those who have joined us talking about how they found their shifts, how they felt they were looked after by the Hotbox team, what it was like working solo for the first time, taking on more responsibility year on year, and even how the experience and confidence gained has helped with career progression away from festivals!
Another way to see what joining us is like is to check out some of our festival photos!
In our festival photo galleries, you will find thousands of photos covering our festival history over the past twenty years!
It's totally normal to be anxious before coming to a festival, particularly if you're coming solo! We get hundreds of messages every year from people wanting to join us but nervous about doing it, so we promise you're not alone! We're a very friendly bunch so if there's anything we can do to reduce your anxiety please get in touch! Try joining our Facebook Group to make friends with others before the festival - there are even a few WhatsApp groups that have been set up too!
