Staff Jobs
At Fake Festivals, we believe our team of staff play a big part in creating a great atmosphere and helping the festival goers get the most out of the experience.
To work as part of the team you will need to register a staff profile with us.
Register to work
The registration process is undertaken in Facebook Messenger and is handled by Fakebot, our friendly Fake Festivals robot. During the process you will be asked for contact details and personal profile information, such as date-of-birth. You can be any age to register a staff profile, but you will not be offered a job if you are under 18yrs old on the day of the event.
If your submitted profile is suitable, we will send you an approval notification through Messenger so that you can then apply for the events that you would like to work at. If successful, we will send you a job offer for each event, which you must accept or decline within a few days.
