Open vacancy. Showsec is recruiting event stewards for Anfield. 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. Crowd management on concert and major event days at Anfield sits with Showsec (or a named subcontractor for specific fixtures). Applying via Liverpool FC careers for a casual steward shift usually sends you to the wrong inbox.
Concourse catering is a different employer (Sodexo Live!): Concession Server – Anfield.
What the role involves
- Ticket and accreditation checks at turnstiles and bowl access points, including the expanded Anfield Road End.
- Wayfinding for fans with accessibility or first-aid needs.
- Concourse and stand monitoring during Premier League, cup and European fixtures.
- Assisting with controlled egress after the final whistle or encore — Kop-end nights are among the loudest in the league.
- 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; basic DBS may be requested depending on deployment.
- Comfortable standing for long shifts, including exposed concourses in weather.
- 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 concerts.
- Shifts often run 8–10 hours; European nights and summer concerts run longer.
- 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 Liverpool / Anfield, not “LFC club staff”. If you already hold an SIA Door Supervisor licence, say so on the application — you may be fast-tracked into higher-paid search-and-screen banks. If you do not, apply as a steward first; paying for an SIA course before you have shifts lined up is rarely necessary for this vacancy.
