Over fifty roles on offer for Toowoomba locals

The 2010 Northern University Games is coming to Toowoomba, and with it comes lots of volunteer roles for locals interested in sports and events management.

Covering a range of roles in areas such as operations, media, marketing, administration, accreditation, sport planning and special events, the 2010 Northern University Games offers some fantastic opportunities for Toowoomba locals to become involved in a large multisport event.

Returning to Toowoomba for the first time since 2004 the event attracts in excess of 1,000 competitors in 12 sports and is organised by Australian University Sport, the governing body of university sport in Australia.

2010 Northern University Games project manager Paul Sutcliffe has some fantastic roles on offer at the moment. We are currently recruiting for a number of roles that would suit a variety of people, from students looking for a foot in the door in the sports events management industry to retirees who are looking for a new challenge, or a way to become involved in the local community” Mr Sutcliffe said.

Many of our volunteers have used our events as a springboard to launch their career in event management, and with roles ranging from 35 hours to over 100 hours it is a chance to gain some new skills while experiencing the buzz of working on such a large event” said Mr Sutcliffe.

Further information on available roles can be found on the Australian University Sport website  www.unigames.com.au or by calling the 2010 Northern University Games office on (07) 3876 2610.
