Anyone who knows rugby knows Sandy Park offers the best match-day experience around and the 2016/17 campaign promises to be no different for those coming to watch the Exeter Chiefs.

As the Devon club look to build on their best-ever season, one in which the club finished runners-up in the Aviva Premiership, got to the last eight of the European Champions Cup, as well as winning the Aviva A League for the second time, it's never been a better time to get behind Devon's finest.

With crowds of over 10,000 regularly packing in for match-days, so the demand on our facility and its personnel continues to grow each year - and that's why we are looking for additional stewards to assist on match-days.

Deputy Chief Executive, Keiron Northcott, said: “Our gates have continued to increase in line with the stadium development and we last season we had a number of sell-out games. With an average match-day crowd of over 10,000 spectators, so the demands of our stewards have also continued to increase.

"Gone are the days when we could ask them to steward for a cup of tea and a pasty. Now, all of our stewards get paid for their time on match-days, as well as gaining an official NVQ qualification.

“As always our number one priority here has to be the safety and comfort of all our supporters.”

Since arriving in the Premiership back in 2010, the Chiefs have created an award-winning, match-day experience that is unrivalled not only in the top flight, but also across those the club face in European competition.

Keiron continued: “One of the main reasons for winning these awards has been because of the knowledge and helpfulness of our existing stewards and it is important that we maintain this moving forward.

If you are interested in applying to become one of the match-day stewards, please complete the attached application form and return to the reception at Sandy Park or e-mail it back directly to: [email protected] in the first instance.

You must also be able to demonstrate your eligibility to work in the UK. The club is an equal opportunities employer.
