Open vacancy. Showsec is recruiting event stewards for Celtic Park. This is an entry route into stadium event work — no SIA licence required for standard stewarding — with training provided before your first shift.
The stewarding contractor is almost never the football club. At Celtic Park (Parkhead), crowd management for major fixtures and events sits with Showsec or a named subcontractor. Applying via Celtic FC careers for a casual steward shift usually sends you to the wrong inbox.
Kiosk catering is a different employer (Levy UK): Concourse Kiosk Assistant – Celtic Park.
What the role involves
- Ticket and accreditation checks at turnstiles and bowl access points.
- Wayfinding for fans with accessibility or first-aid needs.
- Concourse and stand monitoring during Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and European fixtures.
- Assisting with controlled egress after the final whistle — Old Firm and Champions League nights are the highest-intensity deployments in Scottish football.
- Reporting incidents to supervisors via radio.
Who usually gets hired
- 18+ preferred; some junior steward roles accept 16+ with restrictions — check the live advert. Full age split: stadium jobs for 16 and 17 year olds.
- Right to work in the UK (Scotland uses the same checks); basic DBS may be requested depending on deployment.
- Comfortable standing for long shifts and dealing with very large, loud crowds calmly.
- Available to arrive around three hours before published kick-off or doors, including midweek European nights.
Pay and shift reality
- Typical band £12.71–£13.50/hour; overtime or long-event rates can apply on European nights and concerts.
- Shifts often run 8–10 hours.
- Progression to SIA-licensed door supervisor or response roles is common after a season — Showsec runs internal training routes. Most unlicensed stewarding does not need a badge — do football stewards need an SIA licence?
Stadium Jobs tip
Filter Showsec jobs for Glasgow / Celtic Park, not Celtic FC club vacancies. Right-to-work checks in Scotland follow the same UK rules — have passport or share code ready, because Glasgow matchday intakes move quickly. If you already hold an SIA Door Supervisor licence, say so; otherwise apply as a steward first.
