Join our Uttoxeter Racecourse Team: Grounds Casual Staff

We’re looking for enthusiastic, hard-working people to join our Grounds Team at Uttoxeter Racecourse on a casual basis.

This is an exciting role where no two days are the same. Whether you’re preparing the track for the thrill of race day, building hurdles, watering or making sure the site is clean and welcoming – you’ll play a key part in making sure everything runs smoothly.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Assisting with general course maintenance under direction of the Head Grounds Person and Clerk of the Course
Learning about how to look after our course surfaces, be it turf or All-weather tracks
Using tractors, machinery, and all-weather equipment as needed (following training)
Maintaining lawn and parade ring areas to high standards. If it grows – it is our responsibility!
Keeping car parks, tracks, and surrounding areas clean and tidy
Using gardening tools and agricultural machinery (once trained)
Following all Health & Safety procedures at all times

What We’re Looking For:

Someone who enjoys working outdoors – in all weather!
A team player who can also work well on their own
Somebody who wants to learn interesting facts about the racing surface/turf management
Someone who is flexible: work will include evenings, weekends and bank holidays
Reliable, enthusiastic and a positive attitude
Previous experience with grounds work, gardening or machinery is helpful – but not essential as you will join an experienced team who will show you the ropes

What You’ll Receive:

A chance to be part of an exciting environment at a racecourse
Varied and active work
Up to 10 race day passes to attend our venues
The chance to join a fast-paced company with possible chances of joining the permanent workforce and many more possibilities
Flexible hours to fit around other commitments
Training and support from experienced team members
The opportunity to work at major events and race days

What is casual work?

Casual work is a great solution as it enables you to work flexibly around other commitments in your life. Once you have registered your interest, we will contact you in advance to offer you grounds shifts whether it be race days or in preparation for racing. There are usually a range of shifts available and opportunities for work are based on busy seasons and the annual racing calendar.

If you’re looking for a job where you can stay active, learn new skills and be part of something exciting, we’d love to hear from you.
