We are seeking a volunteer to work closely with the Event manager to arrange, coordinate, and implement the 2021 Avon Descent event days.

Key aspects of this task are: • Liaising with event stakeholders, councils, media and volunteer groups • Managing secondary events, such as sponsor functions, event sign-ins, community activities and various promotional elements. • Have some experience either in events or in a marketing or social media capacity • Have a driver's license for attendance of key meetings and event days

It is expected that you will be available a minimum of one day per week through to the end of August. This will include being available over the 2021 Avon Descent media launch on 1 August and main weekend 14-15 August

For anyone interested in event management, communications and public relations this is an amazing opportunity to gain hands on industry experience in a high profile environment, boost your resume and portfolio, be exposed to networking opportunities and have key roles on event days. Know that your efforts will make a difference.

About the Avon Descent

The Avon Descent is one of Western Australia’s longest running and most beloved sporting and community events attracting local, national and international competitors to compete in a series of powercraft and paddling races on the Avon and Swan rivers alongside a host of free community festivals.

We have a long and intimate history with volunteering with over 99% of its organising teams consisting of volunteers. Over its 49 year history, Northam’s Avon Descent association has engaged thousands of volunteers and hundreds of different volunteer groups to deliver our events.
