Volunteer and Paid Work with DC Site Services - The Calm before the Storm!

That old saying “the calm before the storm” is very much applicable to DC Site Services at the beginning of each season. If you read our last news item then you should already be aware that applications, all of them so far – we’ll continue to update the Event Calendar throughout the year – are now officially open!

One of the most frequent questions we receive is “which are paid jobs and which are volunteer?” If you’re one of these confused souls then you’ll be pleased to know that there are two separate Event Schedules and DCSS PAAM logins for volunteer and paid positions so as to avoid confusion. You can view the Event calendar for PAID WORK here, and VOLUNTEER WORK here. Just click that blue button to the right of both screens to make sure you’re applying through the correct DCSS PAAM page.

We have a brief respite through January but now is the opportune time to get your profiles up to date, to get those applications in and to make your requests for your preferred spots.

As always, you can contact the admin team any time should you have any queries.

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.
