If you like the sound of all of the roles on our website and can’t choose one, or would like to get involved with Oligopoly in another way, we would love to hear how you can help our event run even smoother. Drop us an email and we will happily work out a role to suit you.

Our Roving Supervisors are there to be on hand if any of the teams need some support, first on scene in the (hopefully) unlikely event of any emergencies, and generally keeping an eye on everyone to ensure they are enjoying themselves. They should be confident working in pairs or small teams and be able to problem solve in time critical scenarios. Roving Supervisors should have up to date First Aid training and not be afraid of being outdoors with the potential for some light exercise. There are opportunities for Supervisors to travel by foot, tram or vehicle, but they must provide their own transport.

Arrival Stewards are on hand to ensure a steady flow of traffic into and around the car park for drop off and pick up. They will show participants and supporters where to go, greeting them with a smiling face. The ability to remain cool under pressure is desirable, but the ability to rock the ‘hi-viz and radio’ look is compulsory. (Hi-viz and radio are provided). Arrival Stewards should have basic knowledge of how car parks work. Previous experience of being a traffic cone is preferable, but not essential. If you’ve always dreamt of being that important person wearing a hi-viz and talking into their radio ear piece, then this role is for you!

Media Managers are there to share Oligopoly with the world, posting regular updates across our social media platforms. They will travel around the city, gathering content as they go, never being afraid to use one-to-many hashtags. Media Managers should have a good knowledge of at least one social media platform, or WordPress, and have a mobile device they can bring with them. They should have good English and photography skills, enjoy working independently and be happy to run (or walk) around the city.

The Masters of Ceremonies main role is to keep the excitement flowing and ensure everyone is enjoying themselves. As the face of Oligopoly, greeting players as they arrive, and handing out their Team Info Packs, they need to be smiling and enthusiastic. Masters of Ceremonies will explain the rules of the game, answer any questions and be on hand to provide sneaky hints and tips. Once the teams return Masters of Ceremonies will welcome them back, support the running of the forum, and award prizes and trophies to the winning team in each game.

Games Masters are responsible for overseeing the 8 teams in their game. They will have good judgement and communication skills, managing team check-ins and answering the emergency phone line. Games Masters are the first point of contact in any query or dispute and their decision is always final. Teamwork is essential, as Games Masters will need to work together, and they will be supported by Senior Games Masters who can offer advice and assistance. You will need to bring your own laptop and have a basic understanding of Google-suite.
