Join a team
We need a whole bunch of amazing team members to help us run Satellites. There’s something for every skill set so if you’re available and willing to get stuck in… Keep reading!
Who can apply?
We’re looking for some hard-working, servant-hearted people who want to enable young people to meet with Jesus, to learn how to keep him at the centre of their lives and to help us make Satellites the best event it can be. There are several different teams to apply for so there should be something to suit everyone’s skill set – from practical to administrative, welcoming people as they arrive to tidying the site up as they leave.
Some roles are for 18+ but we also have our popular 50/50 ticket for 16 and 17 year olds. You’ll serve on a team for part of the day and receive a reduced ticket rate for the event. (You can tick this on your application form, and then the reduced rate will be added once your application has been accepted)
What's expected of me?
Each team is slightly different – have a read below for more information – but you can expect to work for around 8 hours a day. Outside of those times you can enjoy the event! Your team leaders will be in contact in the weeks running up to the event with more information about your specific roles.
All Satellites team members will be asked to attend an on-site briefing the evening
BEFORE the event starts and required to help with pack down until midday on the day
AFTER the event (which is also when most delegates leave as the event officially finishes at midnight).
So, for 2025 the Team Dates are 5th – 11th August 2025
Please factor this into your planning as it is crucial that all team attend these elements at the beginning and end of the event.
We hope that everyone serving on team has a brilliant week – playing their part in making Satellites happen, meeting new people, building solid friendships with the other volunteers and serving young people as they journey with us to explore what it looks like to put God at the centre of everything we do. The amount of time each team member serves will vary, but you should expect to be on shift for a minimum of 6 hours and maximum of 10 hours each day. In return for your hard work, we’d love to offer you:
A free ticket to Satellites
This means you’ll get to participate in the rest of the Satellites programme when you’re not on shift, plus access to all our awesome venues.
Free meals
Fantastic news… we’ll feed you for the week! You’ll just need to let us know if you have any dietary requirements, which you can do when you complete your application form.
Team training
We’ll make sure that you have the best training to ensure that you’re fully equipped in the role that you are serving on. We’ll start the event, the day before, with a whole team meeting, worship, prayer and a team meal.
Free camping
We’ll have a team campsite specifically for those serving the event, so that you can meet other team members and hang out when you’re not serving. Alternatively, if you’re coming along with your church, you’ll be able to camp with your youth group for the week – just let us know your preference when you apply.
Please note: you’ll need to bring your own tent and camping equipment.
Exclusive venue: Teams Hub
We’ll be making space for a lounge area where you can relax when you’re not on shift, with free tea and coffee on tap throughout the day plus access to charging points and shelter from any rain! There’ll also be a lovely team on hand to chat and pray if you wish.
