Please note that you need to hold a valid DS OR CP  SIA licence - if you don't have this you can still be considered as a Steward so please see our other opportunities on our careers page. If this sounds like something you want to be involved in, you will just need to complete the following application form and one of our Recruiters will be in touch to discuss the next steps. 

Given the nature of the industry, we do need to ask some questions for security and compliance purposes, but don’t worry - you will only need to complete them once.
