• Volunteer coordination: Recruit and coordinate school, sporting and community volunteer groups, including allocations, briefings and event-day requirements.
• Health, safety and accessibility: Compile contractor SSSPs, insurance certificates and inductions, and manage accessibility enquiries for the Access Manager.
