Join a team

We’d love to recruit a small team to support any of the young people on-site who have additional needs. To join this team, you’ll need specific skills and experience of working with young people or children who have additional needs.

Are you technically minded or part of the sound/visuals/lighting team at your church or youth group? If so, we’re looking to gather a bunch of keen, eager and skilled people to be on our tech team. This could involve running the sound desk in a seminar, being on hand to do band changeovers after hours, setting up seminars or kids sessions or even doing screen words in the main venue. Basically if you can plug it in and it makes a noise, you’ll have something to do with it!

If you’re a qualified first aider or medical professional, we’d love you to join our first aid team at Satellites. Whilst we’re hoping that no one gets hurt or sick at Satellites, these things do sometimes happen and so we’re looking for a friendly first aid team to be the first point of call for any medical situations that may arise. You’ll need to be confident at making decisions about the best course of treatment if someone gets hurt, and able to stay calm under pressure.

As part of our gates team you will be friendly and welcoming as yours will be the first face our delegates, guests and speakers will see! You’ll be responsible for checking / giving out people’s wristbands when they arrive and helping them find their way onto the site.

We’ll have about 400 volunteers serving at Satellites, so we need a whole bunch of brilliant people on our hospitality team to help feed them all. You’ll be responsible for helping our team leaders to prepare the food, dish up and clear away at the end of each meal.

This team has loads of fun – come prepared with your favourite playlist as the tunes are always a big part of this team!

Do you love working with children? We’re excited that Satellites is going to be an epic week for the kids of all the youth leaders on site – and we need a brilliant team to help make that happen.

Our children's work splits into two age groups. The older ones (5 - 11) have a couple of main sessions each day, plus a range of afternoon activities. Alongside games, drama, experiments, crafts and the kids on-site at Satellites will be encouraged to explore what it looks like to put God at the centre of their lives in a way that is suitable and engaging for them, as well as making friends and having a lot of fun along the way!

The younger ones have a main session in the morning where they can take part in games, crafts and lots of other fun activities. In the afternoons they can bring their parents along to a play session and share the fun with them!

This team is for 18 year olds and up, if you are 16 / 17 and would like to serve on this team, please contact us via teams@wearesatellites.com

We need a skilled team of night stewards to help us keep everyone safe on-site including when everyone is asleep!

Accommodation will be provided on site along with the option of a hotel room for the final or packdown day along with specific meals for your team.

It would be a huge bonus if you know the phonetic alphabet and you’re comfortable using a radio!

As a member of the pastoral team you will be part of a wider team coming alongside young people and their youth leaders as they pray for one another. The model of prayer ministry Satellites uses is active, open and encouraging.

Active: we are all active participants, both the person praying and the person being prayed for.
Open: We are open to the work of the Holy Spirit.
Encouraging: We expect God to speak and encourage, not to discourage.

The role will involve mentoring and apprenticing young people and their youth leaders to actively pray for one another. It is not about praying for others primarily. It is about skilling and equipping everyone on site so that they can go home and continue to pray for one another rather than have to wait another year for a festival! There is also a space for the team to go slightly deeper in prayer with young people. This opens a place for conversation but the emphasis is always on prayer and for youth leaders/friends to be a part of that time and space to pray. Pastoral care and good safeguarding practice remain a key priority.

Whether you are a tradesman or a diy enthusiast, we want you! The Site Crew is a behind-the-scenes team that is involved in almost every aspect of the event. Whether it’s delivering furniture to venues, fixing toilets and showers, putting up the fencing onsite or installing all the staging around site. The days are varied - sometimes quiet, sometimes busy, but never boring. The team is open to anyone able to help lift and shift things, those who are organised, those who like seeing a job through the completion and those who are up for a lot of fun whilst doing it.

The Arena is where we’ll be gathering each morning and evening, for worship, teaching, ministry and heaps of fun! We need a great team to help steward this venue alongside some of our other venues, chatting to delegates, checking everyone has a valid wristband and making sure that everyone stays safe during these main sessions. You’ll be in all of the main sessions, and we’ll even let you wear a snazzy high-vis jacket whilst you’re on shift! This role will involve being on your feet for a chunk of time during the sessions so you’ll need to be prepared for that and bring some comfy shoes you can wear.

If you’re super friendly and incredibly organised, we’d love you to think about joining our helpdesk. This team are responsible for helping all delegates with any of their practical needs on site – from booking queries to broken wristbands, questions about the programme or lost property. You’ll need to be approachable and confident when chatting with both young people and youth leaders, plus able to problem solve!

Love chatting to people? Always wish you’d owned your own shop? Then our Store might be the place for you! The Satellites Store is where we’ll be selling our limited-edition Satellites merch and all of Youthscape's resources will also be on sale. You’ll be responsible for keeping the Store looking great, chatting to customers and using the tills to take payment.

We need loads of awesome volunteers to help run our different cafés on site. Each café offers something different, be that flat whites, speciality coffees, milkshakes or bubble tea. You’ll be working with your team leader to serve drinks, use the tills to take payments, keep the snacks stocked and make sure the venue is clean and tidy. All teams will receive appropriate training for the café they will be serving on. You will need to be welcoming and happy chatting with young people.

Canvas is a space dedicated to exploring creativity.

Being creative yourself is not a pre-requisite to working on this team, we need team who can use their initiative, explain activities to young people, chat with them and help clear up.

Headstrong is a hub for activities around mental health and wellbeing. That means there'll be short talks about dealing with things like depression and anxiety, but also lots of chilled out activities that use the arts to explore the theme of wellbeing. The venue is linked to Youthscape’s mental health project called Headstrong - you can check out more at beheadstrong.uk. We’re looking for enthusiastic helpers who can organise games and creative activities and who care about helping young people with their mental health.

Know your Spike Ball from your Pickleball? Able to referee a game of footie or organise a wide game? Come and join the sports team! We’re going to run an epic sports programme that everyone – regardless of their skill and experience – can join in with. We’re looking for some passionate sport fans that are up for hosting all sorts of games throughout the week – as well as helping young people to explore how putting God at the centre of our lives can impact our attitude on the pitch/court/field.

Do you have a heart to see young people encounter Jesus through prayer and worship? Serving on The Chapel team, you will be part of stewarding a space which runs our prayer programme throughout the week. We’re looking for people who are passionate about both of these things and also sensitive to meeting young people where they are at in this space!

The camping area at Satellites will be divided up into different coloured villages – red, yellow, blue, green and orange. We’re looking for several pairs of team members to help host each of the youth groups camping in their village by embodying these five values:

• Hospitable – helping every youth group, and young person, on-site to feel welcome and at home
• Organised – staying ahead of the game; being efficient and ready for the people that camp with them
• Supportive – being aware of the needs of the people camping on their hub, playing their part in the holistic care required to look after young people at the event
• There – being present and involved on the campsite, committed to making it the best place possible for young people to stay
• Safe – committing to safety onsite, both with camping practicalities but also having an awareness of spotting signs of young people at risk

You’ll be camping on the village that you’re allocated to, so that group leaders can find you throughout the event. If you have someone in mind that you would want to be your team partner, please both complete an application form and we’ll make sure you’re allocated to the same village. If you’re applying on your own, don’t worry – we’ll match you up with another team member (you can camp separately though!).
