Recruitment: Join the Spartan Wall (High-Vis Provided)
Ever watched a festival crowd and thought, "This is great, but it needs more discipline and significantly fewer people climbing the scaffolding with a ballon hanging out of their mouth"?
Spartan Consultancy is looking for new recruits for the upcoming festival season. We are looking for the calm heads, the eagle eyes, and the people who can maintain a "strictly professional" facial expression while a man dressed as a giant banana explains his life story and why he should go back stage to meet Becky Hill.
The Job Description (The Honest Version):
• The View: You’ll have the best seat in the house. Except you’ll be facing the wrong way.
• The Cardio: 30,000 steps a day. It’s like a gym membership, but instead of upbeat music, you get 12 hours of sub-bass and the smell of gourmet burgers you aren’t allowed to eat yet.
• The Role: Part-time diplomat, part-time crowd-control expert, and full-time legend. You’re the one who keeps the peace when the adrenaline hits the ceiling.
• The Perk: You get to be the person who says "the band is finished" to a group of people who firmly believe in a third encore.
The Spartan Standard: Who We’re Actually Looking For
We aren't just looking for bodies to fill a high-vis vest. We’re looking for the right mindset. If you’re the type of person who stays calm when the radio starts screaming and the rain starts pouring, you’re our people.
1. The "De-Escalation" Artist
You don’t need to be a heavyweight champion, you need to be a master of the "calm-down" conversation. We want people who can turn a "potential incident" into a "non-event" just by using their head and their words. If you can talk a frustrated punter down without losing your cool, you’re halfway there.
2. The 360-Degree Radar
While everyone else is looking at the lead singer, you’re looking at the barrier, the exits, and the guy in the third row who looks like he’s about to faint. We need people who notice the small details before they become big problems.
3. The "Sturdy" Reliability
Festival shifts are long, the weather is British, and the feet get sore. We need the "04:00 AM Crew" the ones who are just as sharp and professional at the end of the night as they were at the start. If "it's raining, I'm staying in bed" is in your vocabulary, this isn't the firm for you.
4. The Professional Diplomat
You represent the Spartan brand. That means being firm but fair. You’re the face of the festival for most fans. We want people who can say "No" with a smile, but mean it every single time.
5. The Team Player (No Lone Wolves)
In this job, your teammate is your lifeline. We look for people who check in on their partners, share their biscuits, and have each other's backs when the crowd gets heavy.
The "Must-Haves":
• A Valid SIA License: Non-negotiable.
• The "Festival Stamina": The ability to stand for long periods and keep your wits about you.
• Communication Skills: Clear English, clear radio etiquette, and a clear head.
• Right to Work: All the usual boring-but-important bits.
If you’re ready to trade your weekends for a high-vis vest and the best "you won't believe what I saw" stories in the industry, we want to hear from you.
Apply now and join the crew that makes the magic safe.
Stay sharp
