Daily life of Staff
Volunteering at KISC
How does a day of a Short Term Staff look like?
07:30 | Breakfast |
08:00 | Thought for the day, a short staff briefing for everyone working that day |
08:10 | Work time, every Short Term Staff is allocated to work in different areas of the Centre. Main tasks are slightly different for each season. Read about different seasons below. |
12:00 | Lunchtime |
12:00 | Lunch break until 14:00! Get some fresh air, talk with fellow Pinkies, or have a nap. |
14:00 | Get ready for the afternoon portion of work and great fun! |
18:00 | Dinner |
After dinner | Depending on the season and the number of guests staying at the Centre, you could be involved in evening activities or be scheduled on an evening shift in Catering or Campsite. You might be running an international campfire, a barbecue, taking a group igloo building, or helping guests with recycling. |
The schedule above might change a bit. It all depends on what needs to be done. To achieve this, we need your commitment and flexibility. Also, be prepared for bigger events to happen at KISC which bring some different tasks to your daily work.
How does a day of a Long Term Staff look like?
07:30 | Breakfast |
08:00 | Thought for the day, a short staff briefing for everyone working that day |
08:10 | Work time. Every Long Term Staff goes to their work stations to kick-off the day or start to work directly with the Short Term Staff. |
12:00 | Lunchtime |
12:00 | Lunch break until 14:00! Get some fresh air, talk with fellow Pinkies, or have a nap. |

It’s important to be aware of these extra tasks when applying for any position at KISC. The daily work schedule for Catering staff, and during summer for the teams that work in shifts differ from the above.
Weekly meetings
Every week, Long Term Staff have a special meeting to discuss previous and upcoming tasks and share important information. Long Term Staff have also a meeting with their line manager to discuss operational matters.
