About the Role

Love events, enjoy working with people, and thrive in a fast-paced environment?

Townsville City Council is seeking enthusiastic and reliable Casual Venue Support Staff to join our Venues Team. This is a wide-ranging and hands-on role supporting the delivery of events,



functions, community activities, performances, meetings, conferences and sporting events across Council venues.

No two shifts are the same. One day you may be assisting with the setup of a community event, the next supporting a major performance, helping venue hirers access facilities, or ensuring everything runs smoothly during an evening function.

Working as part of a supportive team, you will play an important role in creating positive experiences for venue users, performers, event organisers and the community.

Your responsibilities may include:

- Event and function setup and pack down (bump-in and bump-out)
- Venue presentation and operational support
- Supervising venue bookings and hirer access
- Monitoring events and responding to operational issues
- Assisting clients, performers, contractors and members of the public
- Providing high-quality customer service and resolving enquiries
- Supporting the safe and efficient operation of Council venues

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of the team that helps deliver events and experiences across Council's venues and community spaces.

You’ll gain exposure to a diverse range of events, work alongside experienced venue professionals, and enjoy a flexible casual role where every shift brings something different.



Whether supporting a community function, major event, sporting fixture or cultural performance, you’ll be helping create memorable experiences for our community.

About You

We're looking for people who enjoy working with others, take pride in delivering great customer experiences, and can think on their feet.

The ideal applicant will demonstrate:

- Strong customer service skills and a friendly, professional approach

- Reliability, punctuality and a strong work ethic
- The physical capability to undertake manual tasks and event setup work
- Flexibility to work a variety of rostered shifts, including early mornings, evenings and weekends

Experience in events, venues, hospitality, community facilities, functions, customer service or recreational facilities will be highly regarded, however we welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds who are keen to learn.
