Event steward and staff job openings

Where the jobs are

Steward work is listed on city pages, and ToGet4U asks candidates not to apply for jobs too far from where they live, so the page for your area is the one to check first.

The platform covers cities across Europe, and steward jobs in Dublin have a page of their own. Hostess openings sit on a separate page, event hostess jobs, and the same free profile lets you apply to both.

How to apply and get paid

Registration is free, and what it asks of you is a profile: the services you offer, the events you have already worked, the cities where you can work, and a professional photo. That profile joins over 50,000 professionals registered on the platform, and from your account area, or from the ToGet4U app on iOS and Android, you apply to the offers that fit without waiting to be called. The company behind the event receives a shortlist of profiles and picks who works it. With 90% of selections closed within 48 hours in peak weeks, a profile left out of date can cost you a job you wanted.

Once you are selected you sign a digital contract, and ToGet4U expects a signed contract to be honoured. Before the event you get a briefing with the dress code, the hours, your position and the people to refer to on site. Payment then depends on how you work: on terms agreed case by case with a VAT number; without one, on scheduled dates for occasional work or on the same case-by-case terms for an employment contract.

What the role involves

Welcome and accreditation are the core of it: greeting people as they arrive, checking registrations, handing out badges and answering the first questions of the day. Orientation follows, because exhibitions and congresses spread across halls, rooms and floors, and visitors need someone who knows where each session or stand is. The rest of the shift goes on assistance, on an exhibitor’s stand at a trade fair or in the conference rooms while sessions run, and on guiding guests through the venue at corporate events and product launches. Companies that book stewards read the same roles from their side on the steward agency page.

Francesca Rubiola, CEO of ToGet4U, has described the people who work at events as often the first contact between a brand and the public. Talking about selection, she has said that preparation, precision and the ability to read an offer properly count alongside availability. The people who present themselves clearly, carefully and on time are, in her account, the ones selected more often, and on the day, that means arriving at the hour the briefing gives, in the dress code it sets, for a job you already know from reading the offer.
