About You
You’ve got a passion for people and can build meaningful community relationships by being a positive and supportive brand ambassador.

Personal Considerations
- Weekly site visits are core to community engagement, so you’ll need an unrestricted driver’s licence and your own transport.
- For large events like race days (4 – 5 per year) you will need to be available to drive a van.
- As the events lead you’ll need to be able to do some heavy lifting setting up marquees etc.
