Have you got what it takes to be a 2012 Games Maker?
Up to 70,000 volunteers will be recruited for the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games. Volunteers will be called Game Makers in recognition of the vital role they will play in ensuring the Games are successful.
There will be two types of Games Maker; specialist roles (including sports-specialists, anti-doping, press experts) and generalist roles (such as spectator assistants, ticket checkers).
For the specialist roles, LOCOG has been working with the relevant governing bodies and associations to pre-identify suitable candidates, and applications for these roles opened on 27 July. Applications for generalist positions are now being invited.
Full details are on the London 2012 website.
