2013 Glastonbury Festival staff jobs and work information

Glastonbury is fast approaching!

We've now allocated all of our Glastonbury Festival staff into teams and groups - if you login to DCSS PAAM you should see you're in one of the following teams:

  • 8 Day/Night Clickers
  • 5 Day/night Clickers
  • Campervan and Caravan Parking and Stewarding
  • Campsite Towers
  • Chaperones and Crossings
  • Z Zone

All of the details for each of the Glastonbury Festival job roles can now be found in the Event Info section of DCSS PAAM. Here we've provided directions to the festival, arrival information, briefing and shift times, and additional details you will need to work with DC Site Services at Glastonbury!

The finer points of job allocation e.g. specific positions and roles will be dealt with on-site on a first come first served basis - so the earlier you arrive the more likely you are to get the top spots!

One of the most frequently asked questions this year has been regarding shift patterns. Shifts range from 7.5 hours to 12 hours, depending on what team you are assigned to. Staff will be required to work each day of the festival and all shifts will include a break of at least one hour.

We are currently discussing a change in our camping area with Glastonbury Festival, so please keep an eye out for future Glastonbury news items and updated Glastonbury information in the Event Info section of DCSS PAAM.

Unfortunately, cancellations are inevitable. We would like to remind staff of the minimum cancelation period (20 days prior to an event) required to receive your deposit back. The last day to cancel your Glastonbury job without forfeiting your deposit is the 1st June 2013. All deposits are returned in October (applicable to staff attending and staff who cancel). An early deposit return can be requested (for those who decide to cancel). Early returns are processed on a monthly basis and are subject to a £20 admin fee. We encourage you to re-read the Terms and Conditions on our website to make sure you understand our deposit related policies.

If you are travelling by campervan or want to bring a caravan, please contact us. If you're planning on camping please do remember to bring your camping equipment...there is always one! Whilst working with us you are required to camp in the DC Site Services staff compound.

If you have any other queries about Glastonbury, please do contact us.

We look forward to working with you soon!

I wanted to write personally to say a huge thank you to you and your brilliant team for all your hard work to enable to deliver, in such a short space of time, a wonderful Royal Windsor Horse Show.

When we started the planning, we honestly had no idea whether we could or could not run and had so many changes it must have made it almost impossible for your team – however as always they adapted and overcame the many hurdles that we presented, with a smile and a complete can do attitude and many people are saying that it was one of the best show’s that they have ever been to.

Everybody I have spoken to has said how fantastic the cleaning was and that the loos were immaculate, and the showground looked as good on the last day as it did on the first day – which is exactly what any organiser strives to achieve. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was delivered with a smile. Your cleaners were tremendous once again. Even with the date change and the added bonus (!) of COVID everything was delivered on time.
