We may have bid farewell to festival season for another year, but hap’s work never stops. We supply teams to the events and hospitality industry year-round, staffing venues like stadiums, arenas and racecourses. 

Think of all the amazing events that occur in these places: intense sports matches, sold-out music tours, and fast-paced racecourse weekends. With hap, you can attend all of these (and more!) for free – in fact, you’ll get paid to be there. Here’s what you can expect by working these events…

Upskill on your own terms 

We have a range of roles available, and our work model is completely flexible – so you only sign up for what suits you. Positions include front-of-house roles like bartenders, waiting staff and cashiers, and back-of-house work like food preparation. We also hire ticketing, stewarding, cloakroom staff and runners – there’s truly something for everyone. 

Not only can this kind of casual work fit around your university studies or other commitments, but it also gives you the opportunity to pad out your CV with valuable transferable skills. We train all our staff from the ground up – equipping you with the tools and expertise you need to thrive in a busy service environment. 

This means that, when you become part of the well-oiled hap machine, you’ll have the opportunity to perfect your communication skills, get to grips with time management, become a multitasking pro and, most importantly, understand the value of teamwork. All of these are key skills that employers look out for when hiring – giving you a head start in the world of work.

Who says work can’t be fun?

One of the best things about working for hap is that our teams love to have fun on the job, creating a dynamic, buzzing atmosphere that puts everyone at ease. Don’t just take our word for it though – we spoke to some of our staff about their experiences working at these venues, and here’s what they had to say:

“I really enjoy casual stadium work with hap as there are always regular shifts and I get to meet new people.”

“Working at a range of venues means no shift is the same, so it’s always exciting.”
