Help disabled participants and those with access needs enjoy Nest.

Activities / responsibilities

  • Contact participants who tell us about access needs when they get their ticket, and talk through what they need and what to expect.
  • Write the yearly Accessibility Plan, with help from Community, DPW and other teams.
  • Weigh up access improvements against the budget and the volunteers available.
  • Arrange things like accessible toilets, escort volunteers, Joyride vehicles, handrails and other changes to the site.
  • Talk to Arts, Educators and other circles to understand what the site can and can't do.
  • Write an accessibility guide for participants before the event, so people can make an informed choice and arrive knowing what to expect.

The best bit about this role

Your work means people with access needs can come to Nest knowing what to expect, and find the support they need when they get there.

You'll be great at this if you

  • understand disability and access needs, from your own life or from supporting others
  • are comfortable talking with people about what they need, kindly and in confidence
  • can be honest about what's possible and help people plan around it
  • like turning lots of practical details into a plan
