Event Crew - Ultra Challenge

Job Posted: 18 March 2025

• Contract Term: Casual
• Location: Chale , Isle of Wight
• Contract Type: Part time
• Salary: 12.21 Hour
• Industries: Leisure Charity / Voluntary Event Management Travel & Tourism

Ultra Challenge specialises in creating unique challenges and in 2024 over 36,000 people took on one of our ‘Ultra Challenge’ events, which is now the UK’s leading series of treks & trail runs and raises over £10 million for charity each year. In 2025 we plan to build on that success and help more people achieve their personal goals.

We have an excellent event’s team who bring these events to life and deliver first class support & hospitality for participants. We’re on the lookout for hardworking & resilient individuals to join our team and get involved in something special.

Up to 2,000 adventurers will take on the Isle of Wight on the 3^rd and 4^th May 2025 – all out to push themselves further and help raise over £250,000 for charity. 

Experience: You will either have experience working on mass participation events, outdoors events, catering or hospitality experience, or you just feel you have what it takes to work as part of a team, and have the determination to thrive on events with a ‘can-do’ attitude.

As work can sometimes be labour intensive – ideally you should be physically fit and be willing to help with some lifting! We are looking for someone who is reliable and wants to become part of a close-knit team putting on some of the UK’s best events.

Role: You will be at the core of our events team with different roles over the event weekend. This may include site set-up on the Thursday &/or Friday including some heavy lifting, setting up tents, gazebos, event branding, hospitality & merchandise areas, the registration zone and working to deadlines to get the event sites in great shape for participants.

Over the weekend ‘event days’ it’s all about providing the best experience – ranging from: when they arrive, manning information/ registration areas/ hot drinks stations, timing, checking participants into the campsite, to presenting participants with their medals, t-shirts and a glass of fizz when they finish their challenge.

You will learn on the job from our experienced Event Crew, and will have the option to select your preferred choice of your working days when completing your event availability. If your preference is to not work on the set up/ de-rig team & work over the weekend on the event we can accommodate to requests. 

We are looking for team members who are physically fit and motivated to join our team, and help to support all our participants by helping them achieve their challenge and raise valuable funds for charity.
