HANDICAPPER
Home-based
Competitive Salary + car + benefits
The British Horseracing Board has been the sport’s
governing body since 1993. We work closely with
our partners in The Jockey Club, the regulatory body,
to promote and develop the appeal and integrity of
British Racing.
Now we can offer what has to be an ideal role for a
serious racing enthusiast. You’ll be one of only a handful
of professionals who attend the races, analyse the form
and use their judgement to provide the Flat and Jump
Official Handicap Ratings that keep the fairness and
excitement in the sport.
We’ll provide you with the computer, audio visual and other
office equipment you’ll need to ensure you have access to
all the information for your assessments and evaluations
from home, but a key element of your job will be travelling
to meetings in your region and further afield – liaising with
Stewards, Race Officials, Trainers, other horseracing
professionals and the Media. You’ll also help to evaluate
the performances of horses in certain international races.
A thorough knowledge of horseracing is essential –
preferably with a professional background in the sport,
although training can be provided to develop your
awareness in key areas. What cannot be taught is a natural
flair for analysing and interpreting data, coupled with the
instinct and initiative to reach sound judgements. You’ll
also need real strength of character, integrity, diplomacy
and the willingness to work irregular hours, with some
nights away from home.
In return you can expect a competitive salary and a
comprehensive benefits package including a car, travel
expenses, pension, private medical cover and permanent health
insurance. To apply, please write with your CV to:
