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.

The Glee Club Cardiff is located in Mermaid Quay, in Cardiff Bay. We have a 450 seat auditorium, where we hold our live stand up comedy shows every Thursday, Friday & Saturday evening. We also host touring comedy shows and live music, drag & spoken word during the week.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and hardworking person to join our bar and floor staff team for an average of 2 - 4 shifts a week. We are looking for someone who is available most evenings, both during the week and on weekends, including bank holidays and non term time. During the summer months we are quieter but shifts pick up from September through to June. We are looking for someone who is willing to be cross-trained and will work across both departments.

Pay: £12.71ph + tips and a bonus scheme, paid 4 weekly.

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.
