Job description

IMPORTANT: Must be 18+, must be available to work weekends and evenings, including 31st December.

Established in 1994, our award-winning venues have been hosting events for over 30 years, including comedy, music, drag, podcasts, talks / Q&As & spoken word. Described by The Guardian as “enormously well-regarded”, we pride ourselves on a commitment to excellence & innovation in live events.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion, and are keen to attract people of different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from historically underrepresented communities for all roles. Just like our venues are designed for everyone, so is our workplace, and we work hard to create an inclusive culture for everyone.

Job Role & Responsibilities

• Read tickets and make drinks efficiently and accurately.
• Clean, set up and close down the bar efficiently and to a high standard.
• Help the floor team take out drinks orders to tables.
• Collect empty glasses / ice buckets / rubbish from the floor during intervals.
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness on the bar during service.
• Greet and serve customers in a friendly and efficient manner.
• Reduce and record any waste.
• Restock / reset the bar during intervals.
• Assist the bar manager with deep cleans / keeping the cellar tidy / ensuring the bar runs effectively.

Things To Know

Shifts start between 5pm - 6.30pm and generally finish between 10.30pm and 11.30pm.

We don't provide transport home but we are happy to allow you to leave at a reasonable time to get public transport if you let us know in advance.

Due to the nature of our service model the first hour of the shift can be quite intense so an ability to work well under pressure is a must. We aim to serve all of our customers (up to 400 people) before the show starts. We then have intervals where the bar picks up again.

Pay

£12.21ph + tips and a bonus scheme, paid 4 weekly.

Perks

Free tickets to shows you're not working * (if they are our shows)

Shifts finish early enough to still go out afterwards.

Friendly, inclusive and interesting place to work.

Short, evening shifts, perfect for anyone studying or someone looking for a part time job.
