Our club’s excellent progress on the pitch and ever increasing attendances mean we are now looking to strengthen our matchday support team. In particular, we are looking to add to our matchday steward team, with the possibility of gaining nationally recognised quali cations (such as Level 2 or 3 NVQ in Spectator Safety) through our partners Total Hospitality Training. You’ll be contributing to the progress of your club and learning transfer- rable skills in health and safety, security and customer services; while strengthening your CV at the same time. It doesn’t have to be every match, but it would be great if we could increase our pool of available people to ensure our spectators have an enjoyable matchday experience and enhance our club’s growing reputation for professionalism. If you’re interested to learn more about what is involved and how you can benefit, please speak to me.
