Event Jobs in the UK: An Overview

RACECOURSES

Platinum Recruitment works with several world-renowned sporting and events venues across the UK, including various racecourses. We build teams of hospitality professionals to join us at some of the largest events within the annual racing calendar at Cheltenham, Newbury, Wincanton and Exeter, including the annual Cheltenham Festival.

The perks of taking on racecourse shifts are arguably plenty. Previously, racecourse temporary staff have been known to earn competitive pay and great tips. This, coupled with the chance to gain the skills needed to build a career in hospitality, is why candidates have been eager to join us at racecourses across the country, year after year. So, why not you?

STADIUMS

Platinum Recruitment works closely with football stadiums, including Bournemouth AFC.

Working hospitality shifts at Bournemouth FC is an exciting and dynamic opportunity that combines the thrill of live sports with exceptional customer service. As part of the vibrant atmosphere at the Vitality Stadium, employees can be at the heart of one of the UK’s most exciting football clubs.

Whether serving food and drinks, managing VIP areas, or engaging with passionate fans, each shift offers a unique experience. With a focus on team collaboration, high-energy environments, and the satisfaction of contributing to memorable matchdays, working at Bournemouth FC provides more than just a job – it’s a chance to be part of something special, surrounded by the energy of football and the spirit of the community.
