CRESFEST VOLUNTEER TERMS OF AGREEMENT
Preamble:
CresFest Volunteers will be the backbone of CresFest. They will facilitate a friendly atmosphere for three fabulous days. We are looking for more-or-less local people with a good knowledge of Creswick: enthusiastic, friendly, helpful people who will be an important ingredient of the fun festival atmosphere.
As an important face of the festival, this implies being calm and relaxed, listening and discussing, being clear and consistent, and seeking advice whenever appropriate. We are grateful for your time, talent, passion, experience, knowledge and hard work. Your well being, as a volunteer, and the wellbeing of the volunteer team is important to us. We won’t be able to do it without you!
Cresfest Volunteer Terms of Agreement
⭐ I agree to the general CresFest ethos of kindness and politeness at all times, and am prepared to operate in that framework while carrying out my volunteer duties.
⭐ To be more specific, I agree to treat all other volunteers and members of the public with respect at all times, not to make anyone feel uncomfortable, and not to behave in any way which could be construed as harassing or bullying. I realize that my engagement with CresFest will be terminated if I can't fulfill this requirement. Feeling safe at CresFest is a fundamental right for all.
⭐ I agree to carry out volunteer tasks of about 4 hours per day (or more, by negotiation).
⭐ I agree to take part in volunteer training as required, which will involve at least attending one in-person four hour maximum face-to-face volunteer induction on a Saturday in March, before the festival.
⭐ I agree to provide a responsible emergency contact with my application.
⭐ I agree to complete the tasks assigned to me by following written instructions, or as directed by my Team Leader or the Volunteer Manager.
⭐ I agree to contact my Team Leader as early as possible if circumstances prevent my commencing a shift.
⭐ I agree that no financial payment will be made by CresFest for my services as a volunteer.
⭐ I agree to wear my Friends of the Festival T-shirt or badge (tbc) whilst on duty.
⭐ I agree that not completing my shift without ample notice or satisfactory reason could result in forfeiting my wristband entry pass. I may not be eligible for future applications to volunteer.
⭐ I agree not to consume or be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs within my rostered hours.
⭐ I am over 18 years of age.
⭐ I agree to follow all Government stipulations governing Covid management at the time of the festival, and I realize that failure to do so will mean I cannot be accepted as a volunteer at CresFest. Currently, from June 2022, volunteers no longer need to prove their COVID vaccination status, but this may have to change if Government COVID regulations change.
