Volunteer role descriptions
We’re looking for enthusiastic, capable and committed people with a strong “can do” attitude for various roles to facilitate the 2024 Alive Pharmacy Warehouse Ride for Isabel.
There are a number of roles – some pre-event and post event and of course, during the event.
We love our volunteers because without your help, this would not happen.
Check out some brief details to give you more information about the help we need and how you might be able to contribute. Please lodge your expression of interest and we will be in touch.
More detailed Position Descriptions and instructions will be provided to our confirmed Volunteers closer to the event.
Equipment co-ordinator
Suited to a physically fit person who is able to drive a vehicle, ideally with a trailer. There are a number of items that will need to be collected and prepared before the event (eg. marquees, tables and chairs). The pickups will be in the week before August 11. Ideally, you also would co-ordinate equipment drop off and pick up from the event on Sunday, August 11. We will source someone to help you with the above (or let us know if you have someone in mind who can help you). It would be great if you have your own vehicle with tow bar, or a vehicle with storage space (eg a van).
Equipment Assistant
Suited to a physically fit person who can help the equipment co-ordinator (see above) with pickups and drop-offs.
Food and drink stall co-ordinator
We are looking for someone who will liaise with food and drink stalls and manage them on the day of the event. You’ll also be involved with the site layout and are welcome to contribute ideas in relation to stalls, types of food etc. Post event you’ll ensure all vendors leave the event space tidy, as per the agreement with them.
Set up and pack down crew
We need some physically able people to help set up the event space. This will involve erecting market stall size marquees, moving tables chairs, etc.
Registration Assistants
Two volunteers to assist with Registration. All 2024 Ride for Isabel participants need to sign in prior to departure and again at the completion of the event.
Traffic Controllers
We will require volunteers to assist with directions for the riders on the ride route.
Escort Vehicle Drivers
This is a very important role and the time will go very quickly as you will be busy “protecting your brood”. It is also very gratifying through interaction with the riders and drink stop crew on the road.
The event travels on public roads so obeying the road rules and safety are paramount during the ride.
Each Pack is led and followed by vehicles that need to be able to get off the road at Drink Stops and they will need the capacity to pick up cyclists and bikes in case of mechanical breakdown or rider injury. We have some loan vehicles available, and others are supplied by riders, but if your vehicle is suitable you can use it instead.
Additional information will be provided closer to the event commencement.
Drink Stop Assistants
Drink Stops are located approximately 25kms apart for a short rest, to rehydrate, re-fuel and perhaps take a quick toilet stop.
An essential part of the role is to make it a ‘fun’ atmosphere to noise and frivolity, water sprays, etc are all encouraged.
Medics
Must have basic medical first aid certificate and offer first aid assistance where required. Must have a mobile phone to be used In the event of an emergency to telephone 000.
