Volunteering at The Grey Space

Are you interested in connecting with new people while gaining hands-on experience in the arts, music, and events? We are seeking enthusiastic people to fill various roles. Join us on our new chapter of events and be part of our vibrant community!

Roles
Host

As a host, you would be working a hybrid role where smoothing operations is one of your greatest strengths. The following are also part of what a host could get their hands on while volunteering at certain events.

Door and ticketing

As ticketing by the entrance, you would be the first face of The Grey Space. Greet visitors, help them navigate through the space when necessary and scan tickets.

Wardrobe

Here, you would be responsible for the visitors’ personal belongings. By providing a seamless arrival and departure experience, ensure that items are quickly tagged, secured and correctly returned to the respective owners.

Runner

For those events where catering is involved, organisers may need extra hands while setting up. The idea is to make the space presentable and later assist serving or bartending by clearing empty plates, refilling drinks and attending to visitors.

Floor Angel

This role is crucial to establish awareness and safety for everyone involved so attendees can enjoy the space without fear of harassment, assault or intimidation. Floor angels are dedicated to monitor the environment and support the team where necessary. It is important that you get an awareness team training before volunteering as one.

Our next awareness team training is on the 1st and 2nd of December. More details will follow up.

There may be roles available to provide assistance with the space setup or takedown of events and exhibitions, or with the technicians which include sound and lighting preparation, or assembling and dismantling of the equipment.
