With only
50 days to go before the Games, Manchester 2002 and Official Staffing
Sponsor Adecco are calling for people to fill the last remaining
volunteer positions.
They are looking
for VIP transport drivers, event services/security staff and, most
urgently, assistants to help with costumes and props during the
ceremonies.
Amy Parrish-Rett,
Volunteer Manager, said 'Our Games vehicle fleet has expanded leading
us to need additional drivers, and strong ticket sales demand that
we have adequate staff to ensure spectators safety and comfort throughout
the Games.'
'Although we
had an overwhelming response to our initial call for volunteers
and an extensive reserve list, these roles do require a combination
of specific skills, along with enthusiasm, motivation and the ability
to provide service with a smile.'
VIP drivers,
who will operate between sport venues and other official locations,
must be 25 or over and have a good driving record. A sound knowledge
of Manchester and the surrounding area is preferable, although training
will be provided. Customer services skills are additionally important
as the role involves being in close contact with VIP visitors.
The Event Services/Security
staff should, for legal reasons, be between 18 and 55. These positions
require confident, outgoing volunteers who enjoy working in teams
and being amongst crowds.
Interested applications
should call in to the Volunteer Centre on the 4th Floor of Heron
House in Albert Square, Manchester on the following days:
- Monday 10th
June between 3.00 - 8.00
- Wednesday
12th June between 10.00 - 3.00
- Thursday
13th June between 3.00 - 8.00
Or call the
Volunteer Hotline on 0870 241 7374 to get more information.
