High-end hospitality roles open for The Open 2025

With preparations underway for one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events, The Open 2025, organisers are calling on hospitality staff across Northern Ireland to be part of the action when golf’s oldest major championship returns to Royal Portrush.

The event, which draws tens of thousands of spectators and international attention, is not only a major sporting highlight but also an economic and cultural boost for the region. As part of the build-up, recruitment has officially opened for hospitality roles offering front-row access to the high-energy environment of The Open.

Staff will be placed in premium venues throughout the course, including VVIP areas, fine dining restaurants, and exclusive hospitality suites, providing what organisers describe as a unique opportunity to gain top-tier industry experience.

“The Open is an internationally renowned event, and being a part of it is a unique experience – especially for students looking to break into the hospitality industry,” said Allan Edgar, Director of Selective Personnel, one of the staffing partners for The Open 2025.

Selective Personnel, a hospitality staffing agency based in Scotland, has been tasked with building an elite team to serve at the event. With over 100 venues in its portfolio, the agency brings a wealth of experience to the role – but the spotlight, they say, is firmly on the opportunity it creates for locals.

“We’re offering roles that go beyond your average event job – this is high-end, fast-paced hospitality at the very top level,” Edgar added.

The chance to be part of The Open goes beyond just working at a major event. For many, it’s a way to gain valuable experience, make industry connections, and enhance their CV with a standout credential.

Applications are now open to students and individuals interested in joining the team. Full training will be provided to all successful candidates.
