RACING INTEGRITY BOARD

RIB

 

The Racing Integrity Board (RIB) promotes and ensures compliance with high standards of integrity, animal welfare and professionalism by people in the racing industry. Established under the Racing Industry Act 2020, the RIB has a national presence working across the three racing codes.  Our race day teams attend nearly one thousand race meetings across 59 tracks each year. We work to ensure racing is safe, fair and that high standards of animal welfare are maintained.  

We would love to have a conversation with you if you are interested in joining the RIB in a Stipendiary Steward role working in the Thoroughbred team. You may also provide support to the other racing codes on an operational basis. 

Stipendiary Stewards are responsible for the effective and legally compliant operation of race meetings and related duties. This includes duties at race meetings and trials, venue and track inspections, establishing effective relationships with industry participants, inspecting stables and involvement in mentoring and training. 

This role requires a passion for ensuring the welfare of our participants, equine athletes and upholding integrity through the rules of racing and knowledge of the thoroughbred horse. You will be part of a national team, who are incredibly passionate about the racing industry, and keen to share their knowledge with you. 

To be successful in this role you will: 

  • Have a genuine interest in horse racing.
  • Practical horse experience (highly encouraged).
  • Be self-directed, motivated and engaged.
  • Be decisive, with a proactive and constructive attitude.
  • Have excellent interpersonal skills.
  • Be able to work under pressure. 

This role will require you to be based in the Waikato to work Auckland / Waikato region, with some travel to the Central region. It requires flexibility in hours, as you will be required to work weekends, and at multiple workplaces.
