What’s it like to work here
Apply via EC Catering Partners / RFC Conference and Events channels. A strong Thames Valley option for staff in Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell and west Berkshire.
What to verify before applying
The Select Car Leasing Stadium has a larger conference footprint than many League One grounds. Reading FC Conference and Events listings describe West Stand spaces including the Princess Suite, Royal Suite, Premier Suite, Club 106, boardroom, Directors Lounge and executive boxes. Some rooms are built for major conferences, while boxes and boardrooms suit smaller meetings and private dining.
For applicants, that means matchday hospitality is only part of the opportunity. Check whether a role is with EC Catering Partners, Reading FC Conference and Events, or the club’s commercial/ticketing team. Banqueting and Christmas-party shifts may involve longer setup and close-down times than football. Matchday kiosk, lounge and kitchen roles may have shorter but more intense trading windows around kick-off and half-time.
