If you are interested in working for Podpads from June to September 2010 then read on:

There is an application form at the bottom of the page, please click on application form and then SAVE TO FILE. Please do not send you CV as this will not have all the information we need.

In 2009 we travelled all over the UK, Ireland and even to Holland building podpads and delivering the best customer service in the alternative camping business. In 2010 we will be growing the podpad experience and visiting even more festivals.

We are looking for keen, hard working, totally committed, personable, sharing people for 2010.

A love of early mornings is essential so if you are the one that doesn't like sunlight as it hurts too much after all that partying then podpads isn't for you.

The work is physical and outdoors. It is hard and long during the build-up and take-down but great fun, part of probably the Best Festival Crew of people, and you  get to see a lot of Festivals. There is a list of the festivals we expect to attend on the festival page of this website.

We are currently looking for crew in all areas - build and reception. Applicants should be 18 or over by June 2010.

Please fill in the application form at the bottom of the page

 

WE HAVE FOUR TYPES OF ROLES:

 

1) Onsite Crew - Almost Full Time Summer Positions

Are you looking for the best summer job out there? Are festivals the highlight of your year? Do you enjoy working outdoors in all weathers? Practical experience in building, electrics, driving vans and forks etc is an advantage but not essential. Do you enjoy customer service and are you proactive at sorting out all kinds of problems? Do you want to spend most of the summer on the road sleeping in a tent? do you have a lets get on with it attitude, 'the sooner we start the sooner we finish'?. And of course are you mad for festivals? Are you available for most of the summer? Can you get up for work in the morning even if your favourite band were on the main stage last night?

You will be helping set up AND take down the podpads and bellepads. You will work short shifts on reception throughout the festival delivering the best customer service at festivals.  Please fill in the form at the bottom of the page.

2) Volunteers - please highlight preferred Festival.

Do you want to work for one or two festivals in return for a free festival pass? You will be helping set up AND take down the podpads and bellepads. You will not need to work during the festival. Do you enjoy working outdoors in all weather? Please fill in the form at the bottom of the page.

(: Hint Hint :) We will be visiting over 20 festivals this summer (check out the festival page) and most people apply for Glastonbury so why not stand out from the crowd by showing some enthusiasm for one of the other festivals, they are just as great as Glastonbury but with cleaner toilets!

3) Site Manager – Full time Summer Position.

Do you have all of the onsite crew qualities above and in addition would you enjoy liasing with onsite festival organisers to solve unexpected problems?

4) Cook - Almost full time positions

We also require a cook to keep the crew well fed on healthy food throughout the season. Experience required.
