How to apply

Apply via Delaware North’s UK jobs pages: careers.delawarenorth.com/uk-jobs. Casual matchday roles sit under UK casual jobs. Filter by the venue named in the advert rather than applying through the club careers page by default.

What applicants should check first

Delaware North’s UK venue mix can change as stadium catering contracts move between operators. Check the live Delaware North careers page before relying on an older venue list, especially for London roles where Wembley Stadium, London Stadium and other large venues can appear under the same UK casual workforce. The advert should tell you whether the job is concessions, hospitality, culinary, logistics or management, and whether shifts can move across more than one venue.

For casual roles, confirm whether weekly pay, free meal, travel timing and cross-venue working apply to the specific advert. For full-time stadium management roles, read the venue description carefully: London Stadium postings, for example, can combine football, athletics, concerts, tours and meetings-and-events work in one operation.
