Temporary Ground Staff / Court Covering Team (35 positions)

EDGBASTON PRIORY CLUB/LAWN TENNIS ASSOCIATION

The Edgbaston Priory Club is again proud to host the WTA International Level Tournament; The Nature Valley Classic Birmingham, a women’s grass court International Level international tennis event that is part of the WTA tour – made up of 53 tournaments staged throughout the world annually (plus the 4 Grand Slam tournaments).

The tournament has increased in prestige year on year, with past winners including former world number 1’s and Grand Slam Champions such as Martina Navratilova, Maria Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Madison Keys, Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova, as well as the 2019 Nature Valley Classic Birmingham Champion, Ashleigh Barty.

For many years we have employed a team on a temporary basis to assist the full time grounds staff during this period. These positions have proved to be very popular with many people coming back several years in a row. We are now looking to recruit new team members to help with ground staff duties and the court covering operation for this prestigious event.

Staff will be required for various length periods of employment between and including 26^th May 2020 and 10^th July 2020.

A number of shorter-term positions will be available throughout this period but staff will need to be available as a minimum from 13^th June through to 19^th June (inclusive) for us to be able to consider them for one of the positions.

Staff will be paid weekly, direct into their bank account (BACS). A further benefit will be the provision of meals during the actual tournament days (13^th – 19^th June inclusive) but no provision will be made on other days.
