The MCC and Lord’s brands are renowned worldwide and are synonymous with excellence, prestige and providing an enjoyable customer experience, whether at an international cricket match or a special event.
MCC is a club built on vision. Since the ambitious entrepreneur Thomas Lord staged our first match in 1787, we have been at the forefront of innovating the game, transforming it from a pastime into a global obsession.
At our heart is Lord’s, the Home of Cricket. Taking care over every detail, we’re dedicated to growing its reputation as the most celebrated and admired venue in cricket.
Yet our reach goes well beyond the boundary ropes of Lord’s. We take cricket further, making it more immersive, welcoming people of all cultures and backgrounds. Everything we do is for the good of the game – from working with local communities to growing cricket’s global influence.
With circa 200 permanent/ fixed term employees based at Lord's, the Home of Cricket, covering a wide range of sectors, there is a potential role for you. Across the year, we recruit for both permanent and seasonal staff, across our teams offering competitive salaries and desirable benefits. We also recruit volunteers for match days to support and enhance the visitor experience at Lord’s.
Our staff strive to help the Club realise its ambition of being the most admired cricket club in the world, and it is that unwavering drive and ambition that has helped Lord’s become universally recognised as the Home of Cricket.
Founded in 1882 Warwickshire County Cricket Club is one of the 18 major county clubs which make up the English and Welsh domestic cricket structure, representing the historic county of Warwickshire.
The Yorkshire County Cricket Club is one of the world's most famous cricket clubs. Founded in 1863, Yorkshire is England's most successful club, winning a record 33 County Championships, joint Champions twice and five One-Day cricket crowns. Yorkshire can also lay to claim producing more England players in history than any other County, and no fewer than five players – Geoffrey Boycott, Len Hutton, Wilfred Rhodes, Fred Trueman and Herbert Sutcliffe – have been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. There is no other English county that can boast five members in the Hall of Fame.
Away from the professional arena, Yorkshire is the hotbed of cricket in the country with in excess of 850 grassroots clubs and schools playing the game every week in the summer equating to over 125,000 recreational players.
Its outstanding work in the local community, via the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation, is regarded as one of the region’s best organised sporting foundations with over 20,000 schoolchildren visiting the Club’s home Headingley Cricket Ground across the year.
Headingley is also one of the world’s renowned international venues and is guaranteed the staging of international cricket every year until at least 2019. The ground opened in 1890 and will celebrate 125 years of sporting heritage in 2015.
The Club play their matches at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds and also play home games at North Marine Road, Scarborough – the home of the world famous Scarborough Cricket Festival.
