• You should be 18 or over.
• You should be reasonably fit and able to undertake a variety of tasks.
• You should be prepared to take the rough with the smooth, and be a good communicator.
• Experience in stewarding work is a help but training will be given.

Examples:

• Assisting the Public
• Checking tickets and passes
• On site traffic direction and Parking Control
• Being aware of fire and evacuation procedures
• Reporting potential security problems to the security team
• Being aware of health and safety issues
• Dealing with lost children (and adults)

Other points:

• Stewards wear a bright (“hi-viz”) tabard on duty, and will be instructed in the use of radios.
• Consuming alcohol and prohibited drugs are absolutely forbidden on duty. You need you to be clear-headed and ready to deal calmly with irate or distressed members of the public, medical emergencies, strategic emergencies, and so on.
