LeoVegas Group begins recruitment drive to fill 50 roles in North East
BetUK and BetMGM operator partners with Newcastle United to attract talent across multiple divisions
LeoVegas Group is set to embark on a hiring spree in the North East after opening up 50 new roles in the region as it continues to expand.
The operator already employees more than 120 people in Newcastle and will now increase its workforce following the launch of the BetMGM brand in the UK.
The recruitment drive marks the largest effort from LeoVegas in the UK since establishing itself in Newcastle in 2018.
Open roles at the firm include positions across responsible gambling, compliance, customer support and technology divisions.
The operator has also tapped into its partnership with Newcastle United to produce an employer-branded film to attract potential candidates.
The one-minute video, filmed at the Premier League outfit’s Darsley Park training ground, features Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Paul Dummett discussing the benefits of working with LeoVegas.
These benefits include a four week ‘work from anywhere’ programme, health insurance, training and development and wellbeing support.
Sam Behar, LeoVegas UK and Ireland director, said: “We’re proud to be based in the incredible city of Newcastle, the home of Newcastle United, and are excited to discover more winning talent as we look to expand our team in the region.
“The Magpies share our same passion for Newcastle and we’re grateful for their support to help us attract the best talent. If you’re looking for your next opportunity, we’d love to hear from you,” he added.
