Clarke & Wright
Clarke & Wright is a wills and estate planning firm running free public seminars in hotels, racecourses and conference venues across England — up to 150 guests, twice a day. We are expanding, and we need an AV events technician and van driver to get our kit to the venue, make it work, and get it home again.
The Job
- Drive our van to venues across the country, usually travelling out the evening before the event
- Small van, similar in size to a large car — no special licence or previous van driving needed
- Print the attendance register before setting off (laser printer provided)
- Set up the room: projector and large screen, PA speakers, radio microphones, mixer, registration desk. No lighting rig, no staging
- Put up displays and roller banners and set the room so it looks right before a guest walks in
- Lay out the session materials on the tables and reset them between the morning and afternoon sessions
- Be visible and welcoming in the car park as guests arrive, helping people find the entrance
- Photograph the finished room and the event for our venue records and marketing
- Run the sound and projector during the event and fix any problems calmly with the audience in the room
- Support the hosts
- Pack down after the event, then drive to the next venue or home
- Look after the equipment: PAT testing, spares, repairs
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Between Events
- Venue scouting visits
- Receiving print deliveries and preparing materials for upcoming events
- Support our client work: travelling to clients' homes to supervise the signing of their documents and to act as a witness
Many of our clients are elderly, and these visits matter to them - you will need to be smart, patient and reassuring, and to treat everything you see and hear in someone's home as completely confidential. Full training is given on the signing process; no legal background is needed.
Travel
- Up to three nights away in a typical event week during the season
- All hotels, meals and fuel paid, plus an overnight allowance for every night away
- Proper breaks: no events late July to end of August, or mid December to mid January
Kit Storage
- The equipment and print supplies live in a rented storage container near your home — we pay for it
- The van is kept empty overnight and parked on your driveway
You Must Have
- Full clean UK driving licence
- Genuine physical fitness — the screen frame and speakers are heavy and awkward, and every event means several trips between the van and the room, sometimes without a lift. We provide a trolley, but there isn't always room for that
- Current manual handling training (lapsed certificate? Tell us — we will arrange the course)
- Hands-on AV ability: computer projectors, PA systems, radio mics, laptop playback
- Presentable and comfortable around guests and clients — you will be the first person many guests meet in the car park, and you will visit clients in their own homes
- Discretion. You will see private documents and family circumstances; confidentiality is absolute
- Willing to undergo a Basic DBS check (we will pay for it)
- A secure off-street driveway at home to park the van (the van is for business use only)
- Reliability. If you do not arrive, the event does not happen
