Production & Backstage Volunteers (EFG London Jazz Festival)

2 months ago

London, UK, United Kingdom SERIOUS Full time

Join our team of volunteers for EFG London Jazz Festival 15 – 24 November 2024


We’re looking for some enthusiastic and committed people to join our volunteer crew We are London’s biggest city-wide music festival and bring together established stars and emerging talent, reflecting the vibrant traditions of jazz and illustrating its diverse and exciting contemporary forms. You can check out the full programme at EFG London Jazz Festival.

Each year we work with an amazing team of volunteers on the delivery of the Festival. You will be a part of a buzzing team delivering Europe's biggest pan-city music festival, as we take over the capital for 10 days in November. The volunteers are an essential part of the Jazz Festival team, and with roles across Production, Marketing, Development and Creative Engagement, there is something for everyone. In addition to your role, you have the opportunity to make new friends, gain valuable insight into the inner workings of the live music industry and attend events with a diverse line-up showcasing global stars and emerging talent.

Whether you are someone with passion for live music and events and a taste for organisation or if you are just interested in trying something new and connecting with people – we have several volunteer roles available. Please check here to find out more.

Our goal is to make this experience as meaningful as possible to our volunteers, and although we’d love to work with you all, spaces are limited, so we are not able to accommodate everyone who applies.

Time commitments

We ask volunteers to be available for as much of the Festival as possible with a minimum commitment of three days. Volunteer shifts and roles can vary from the length of a show to a full day. Availability for the social media volunteer is slightly different as this requires some pre-Festival shifts, detailed below.

Within this time there are opportunities to volunteer in five separate areas of the Festival. Volunteers will be assigned to one of the following teams throughout the Festival. There may be some cases where you are able to take roles across more than one team, but this is not guaranteed. If you have a strong interest in more than one role please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

On the application form you will be able to select a first, second and third preference as there will be limited spaces on each team.

Production & Backstage Volunteers (run by the Production team)
Positions available: 20-25

Please note that not all the production shifts will involve technical work – a lot of the time you will be helping our artist liaison team to look after the artists in a pastoral way.

There are various tasks within the production volunteer team and you will have the opportunity to do a mixture of these. Tasks include working with our Show Managers to support artist liaison and backstage catering, including general runner-work, meeting and greeting, and logistics support. The workload will vary a lot from gig to gig, so being flexible, patient and happy to do all tasks big and small, are all characteristics we are looking for. A big part of these roles is just being a friendly presence that artists and their teams can always come to with questions.

You may also be working with our Transport team to support artist ‘meet & greets’ at airports and train stations.

You may be required to be available the day before the Festival begins, on Thu 14 November, to help with artist meet and greets. During the Festival (Fri 15 – Sun 24 Nov), you will be required to be available for at least 3 days. The shifts will generally start from between 9am-12pm and will finish no later than 11pm. Exact shifts will be confirmed closer to the Festival.

Production volunteers will be working on live music shows and our Creative Engagement programme. If you have a particular interest in Serious’ Creative Engagement work, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

We encourage all volunteers to attend where possible, but attendance is not compulsory.

Serious and EFG London Jazz Festival embrace diversity of all kinds. We are keen to create a volunteer force that is representative of wider society and therefore encourage applicants of all ages over 18, ethnicities, nationalities, socio-economic backgrounds, gender identities and physical and neurological abilities. We’re a motivated team with a mission to ensure music is accessible for all and would love to hear from like-minded individuals.

We will be able to reimburse the cost of a travel within London and a reasonable evening meal.
