Stipendiary Steward Traineeship (Sydney/Newcastle)

Racing NSW is the representative body appointed for leadership and regulation of the Thoroughbred horse racing throughout NSW. Racing NSW Stipendiary Stewards are acknowledged both nationally and internationally, having responsibility for the administration and control of racing in NSW.

An excellent opportunity has now arisen to obtain a Stipendiary Steward traineeship in this exciting industry.

The traineeship is to be conducted through Racing NSW with the successful applicants undertaking a program with both on and off the job training primarily within the Stewards Department based at Racing NSW Head Office, Sydney and/or at Racing NSW Provincial Office based at Newcastle.

If you are decisive, proactive and self-motivated and have:

• a genuine interest in horse racing
• excellent interpersonal skills, both oral and written communication
• the ability to work well under pressure
• the ability to work well both independently and part of a team
• proven keyboard skills and demonstrated knowledge in Word and Excel
• a valid driver’s licence

then we’re keen to hear from you!

Knowledge of the Thoroughbred racing industry and the Rules of Racing is not essential but is desirable. Applicants with practical horse skills are encouraged to apply.

Due to the inherent nature of a traineeship in the Stewards Department, your program will require you to work on a five out of seven-day roster basis and attend venues and racetracks throughout the greater Sydney and Provincial region.

Short listed applicants will undergo a probity check.  The provision of disclosure statements and adherence to the Racing NSW Code of Conduct for Stipendiary Stewards are necessary requirements.
