Casual Matchday Stewards
About The Roles
As we approach the start of the 24/25 football season, we have a number of exciting opportunities to join our Casual Matchday Stewarding team, to support both our men and women matchdays.
This is a fantastic opportunity to support LCFC in a “hands-on” way!
As a member of the Matchday Team, you’ll act as an ambassador for the Club ensuring that we provide a safe and enjoyable experience for supporters, visitors and colleagues alike.
We are recruiting for several different roles within our matchday team which are detailed below-
Casual Car Park Stewards
This role is responsible for ensuring our car parks are ran effectively and safely.
Casual Logistics Assistant
This role is responsible for ensuring the matchday steward’s room is ran smoothly, efficiently, and effectively. This includes preparing and issuing all equipment as well as recording and reporting any incidents that may occur with the steward’s room.
Casual Safety Stewards
This role will control and direct supporters entering and leaving the stadium as well as monitor the condition and temperament of the crow, ensuring a safe even flow of people to prevent overcrowding and altercations.
Casual Corporate Safety Steward
This role has the same responsibilities as the Safety Steward but will work within our corporate area.
Casual Support Team Steward
Similar to the Safety Stewards, this role assists with the direction of fans but with the added responsibility of reporting hazards and responding to any incident that may occur.
Who We’re Looking For
Ideal candidates for this team should be friendly and confident when dealing with members of the public; first class communication and interpersonal skills are essential. The Club is looking for team players who are fan and customer focused – we want to deliver the best matchday experience for all visitors to the King Power Stadium.
Some things to note:
-It’s a requirement of the role for postholders to be over the age of 18.
-Successful candidates will be supported by the Club to obtain their NVQ Level 2 in Spectator Safety, so should be committed to achieving this qualification.
-As a casual role, the work offered to you will be varied and flexible depending on the scheduling of matchdays and events. These offers of work cover weekends, evenings and public holidays.
-As a casual worker, there is no obligation for you to accept work assignments when offered, nor for the Club to guarantee you work.
About The Club
Knowing some of the history of Leicester City Football Club helps you appreciate the sense of community, spirit and family for which the Foxes are renowned for.
Formed in 1884, the Club was promoted to the Premier League in 2014 when the Foxes returned to the top tier as the Championship title-winners. In 2016, Leicester City became Premier League champions. This remarkable achievement qualified them for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the Club’s history, and they subsequently reached the quarter-finals. The Club continues to build on that success and celebrated lifting the prestigious FA Cup in May 2021.
Under the stewardship of King Power and the Club’s CEO Susan Whelan, Leicester City Football Club is deeply committed to the local community and its supporters and continually strives to ensure that every point of engagement with fans is truly world class including the experience on matchdays. Meanwhile, investment in the Club continues, with the 2021 opening of a new state-of-the-art Training Ground in north Leicestershire.
