Volunteer Positions

There are various volunteer positions that you can indicate your preference for. There are backstage functions, public functions and coordinating functions. Below you will find an overview with a short description per function.

Please read all job descriptions carefully and consider which team you prefer before filling out the application form. You can fill out three preferences in the application form.

To give a better idea of the positions, this year we have indicated with stars what qualities fit the different teams. Do you like to be active and sitting still is not for you? Then you are the ‘physical party’ we are looking for! Of course, there are also plenty of positions where the ‘social butterfly’ can flutter delightfully and contact with audiences, artists or fellow volunteers is paramount. Or are you a real whizzkid and computers hold no secrets for you? Take a look at the functions that many stars have at the ‘digital hero’. For anyone who is a jack of all trades and enjoys doing many different jobs, the positions that score high on ‘omnivore’ are highly recommended.

NB: the construction and dismantling of the festival can be combined with another function during the festival period from Friday 13 to Sunday 22 June. During the festival period it is not possible to combine functions.

Backstage positions

Public-related positions

Service Desks

To guide visitors as best as possible during the festival, there are service points at various locations. These service desks are manned by two different teams: the service team and the merchandise team.

Coordinating positions

If you enjoy taking on more responsibility and getting a good look behind the scenes at Oerol, consider a coordination position. These positions require longer availability.
