Leaders and Sidekicks Needed: Site Safety, Wellbeing, and Services

Nov 15, 2021

Three of Kiwiburn’s departments need new leaders, and new 2iCs: Site Safety, Wellbeing, and Services. The three leaders all sit on ExCom and attend ExCom’s meetings and conferences.

Site Safety Facilitator

This leader is responsible for ensuring Kiwiburn is a physically safe and compliant environment for all on-site personnel. They lead a General Health & Safety team, and two fire teams (the Fire Arts & Safety team and Perimeter team). They work with all other Kiwiburn teams to clearly communicate safety plans and ensure others adhere to these. The job is 2 to 5 hours per week, rising to 5 to 10 hours from September until the Burn, and requires them to be on-site for 4 to 5 days before gates open. Successful applicants should be familiar with Health and Safety legislation, have experience as a team leader (preferably within Kiwiburn), and have strong communication and collaboration skills.

Wellbeing Facilitator

A newly created role, this leader is responsible for ensuring Kiwiburn protects and promotes the mental and physical wellbeing of all participants. They will oversee the Black Sheep Rangers, Sanctuary, Consent Club, Know Your Stuff, and Medics, developing and managing policies to support these teams. The job is 2 to 5 hours per week, rising to 5 to 10 hours from September until the Burn, and requires them to be on-site for 4 to 5 days before gates open. The ideal person for this role should have an understanding of mental health care, consent culture, and drug-related issues relevant to Kiwiburn, as well as previously leadership experience (preferably within Kiwiburn). They should also be an excellent collaborator and communicator.

Services Facilitator

This leader is responsible for looking after Kiwiburn’s “front of house” teams both on- and off-site: Gate, Greeters, Ticketing, Traffic and Parking. This involves project and timeline management, and strong cross-team communication to produce documents and policies. The job is 2-5 hours per week year-round, rising to 5-10 hours a week from September until the Burn; they must also be on the Paddock for 4-5 days prior to the event. Prior team and project management experience is a must, and previous leadership experience within Kiwiburn is desirable.

2iC Roles: Site Safety 2iC, Wellbeing 2iC, and Services Facilitator 2iC

Essentially, sidekicks to help the three Leads achieve everything described above! These roles are 2-5 hours per week year-round, rising to 5-10 hours a week from September until the Burn, with the ability to stand in for their Leads on the Paddock should the need arise. They require good team players with excellent communication and time-management skills, and some team-management experience.
