Games Time Kent Greeters
Kent will be welcoming visitors from across the UK and all over the world during the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paraylmpic Games. Visit Kent has been commissioned by Kent County Council to recruit 300 volunteers to be the face of Kent and give a world-class Kentish welcome to everyone visiting our county.
The Games Time Kent Greeters Programme is an extension of the established Kent Greeters, part of the Global Greeter Network, a voluntary association of independent welcoming programmes around the world. The Games Time Kent Greeters will also form part of the national 2012 Ambassadors programme of volunteers.
Are you passionate about Kent and keen to be involved in the London 2012 Games? If yes, then you might have what it takes to be a Kent Greeter in 2012.
We are looking for an army of volunteers to offer a warm welcome, share their passion for Kent with residents and visitors to the county and to provide 2012 Games related information from the Kent leg of the Torch Relay through to the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games. We expect volunteers to use their expert knowledge of the local area and encourage visitors and residents to visit local attractions and events taking place during and after the Games. Volunteers will be located at key travel hubs including Ebbsfleet Railway station, at the Paralympic Road Cycling event at Brands Hatch and at key points along the Torch Relay route, particularly the overnight stops in both Maidstone and Dover. We will be recruiting Greeters and Greeter co-ordinators.
Interested? Could you see yourself taking part in this once in a lifetime experience at the greatest show on earth? Then make sure you apply by Friday 6th April 2012.
