Birmingham is a key location for G4S Events, and Warwickshire County Cricket Club is a valued partner, who we are proud to have worked with for many years, providing both year-round and match-day security services at the city's high profile cricket ground. Edgbaston Stadium is a regular host of major domestic and international male and female cricket, and  is known across the globe for world-class cricket.  It is home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club and its T20 team Birmingham Bears.  

Edgbaston has also been the venue for Test matches, One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. With permanent seating for approximately 25,000 spectators, it was the home of cricket for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, where it hosted the first women’s T20 event and this year they are playing host to Warwickshire Women, Birmingham Phoenix Women, as well as England vs India women one day match.

You'll be part of a delivery team responsible for conducting searches, monitoring crowds and responding to security incidents. You'll be working at some of the world's largest events, often with thousands of people, so you'll need your experience as an SIA Door Supervisor licensed security professional to identify situations before they happen and respond accordingly to those that do. Equally important is your ability to deliver a great customer experience to help create a unique atmosphere

This is a varied role that will provide great memories: you could be based in the events space, outside with the fans or helping to protect world famous athletes and staff. Friendly, professional and approachable, you'll use common sense to help people and ensure the events run smoothly.

• Carrying out pre and post event safety checks, ensuring compliance with safe working procedures

• Ensuring that no prohibited or restricted items are taken into the secured zones within the venues

• Monitoring visitors, crowd movements and behaviour to identify potential issues or incidents and to take appropriate action as necessary

• Dealing with visitor/crowd disruptions

• Securing licenced and hospitality areas

Benefits:

• Paid annual leave, accrued hours with each shift worked

• Opportunity to be selected for the monthly Values in Action award.

• Progression, training and development opportunities

A wide range of flexible shifts are available, fitting in with family lifestyles. So, whether you are looking to increase your skill set, earn extra money, or are returning to work after a period away, this could well be the role for you. Candidates can also have the opportunity to progress onto a fully funded NVQ level 2 upon being successful at interview after 12 months of continued service. 

You will need to hold your SIA Door Supervisor licence - if you don't have this you can still be considered as a Safety Steward, so please see our website for other available opportunities. Just submit one application and a member of the Recruitment Team will be in touch to invite you along to one of recruitment days being held at Edgbaston Stadium.

The values of Edgbaston Stadium and the Warwickshire Cricket Foundation are Passion, Respect, Innovation, Diversity, and Excellence.

We look forward to welcoming you on board, Edgbaston for everyone. 

You will just need to complete the following application form and one of our Recruiters will be in touch to discuss the next steps. Our recruitment and selection process will include an interview and screening to BS7858 standards.

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.
