LNT Sanitation Shit Head | LEAD/Co-LEAD

PURPOSE/SUMMARY

Everybody wants to have clean and enough toilets available at Nowhere. Sanitation is one of the key functions crucial to the success of Nowhere, for the permit and for the well-being of every participant. Sanitation interacts with a lot of different Departments of Norg and this role has a wide range of activities pre, during and post event including communications, construction, placement, purchasing, education and recruitment of awesome Shit Ninjas. You and the rest of the Shit team will interact with many teams and play a fundamental role in ensuring that everyone at Nowhere has a positive experience when using toilets.

Tasks and time commitment

This is a year-round role, which means we need your help to plan, deliver and evaluate sanitation. As the event gets closer, there will be more tasks to do for each team. This role would ideally suit 2 people, and maybe even a third person as someone needs to be able to stay for strike. 

The expected time commitment pre-event is:

• 1-3 hours per week on average between November and January.
• 5-10 hours per week on average between February and May.
