Position Overview

Fancy watching a football (or any other sports match) for free? Well, you can make a career out of working as a stadium attendant.

The work of a person in this position includes performing general and specific stadium maintenance duties, to ensure that the premises remain clean at all times.

The work is challenging in the sense that there is a lot of physical effort required, but if you like working outdoors, this may be the right job for you.

Requirements

You might be asked to perform your work duties while a game is in progress, or you may be required to handle the aftermath of the game. Or you may be rotated in both these areas, which is why you should know how to perform your work duties under all circumstances.
