Overall Purpose

Our customer assistants are the essential link between our business and our customers. From day one, you'll act as a brand ambassador offering great customer service to help us deliver our mission of being the home of the ultimate big screen experience.

You're not required to have prior working experience to be a successful customer assistant, but you must have the enthusiasm and passion to help create that exciting atmosphere for the millions of customers that visit us each year.

You'll be hands-on greeting customers in and out of the cinema, serving at our retail counters, keeping the cinema clean and tidy, and be equipped with the knowledge to answer queries about all our latest content and blockbusters.

And what's great - many of our employees began their journey with us as a customer assistant and have gone on to develop a career within our business.

What Will I Be Doing?

1. Supporting our customer journey from start to finish - greet customers into our cinema, offer a prompt service and support with any queries, ensure a clean, comfortable and safe environment at all times for our customers to enjoy, and offer an after-care service to check that each of our customers' visits was to their satisfaction.
2. Use pace and efficiency at the till points to keep a high level of customer service at all times and help to manage queue times.
3. Communicate all the latest information about our current content features to our customers - What day(s) of the week they are available to watch, start and end times, next availability showtimes, and recommend alternative options if their first choice is sold out.
4. Use the regular training and development tools we provide to confidently complete daily tasks and responsibilities.
5. Communicate up-to-date information about pricing and the value of our content offering and booking options to our customers.
6. Support our customers' understanding of the full range of products and services available by sharing fun facts, stories, statistics, and key information (e.g., VIP & recliner seating, accessibility options, and over 18 screenings).
7. Inform customers about our food & beverage options - How and where to purchase and any promotional offers or combos to support their purchase needs and overall experience.
8. Keep all areas of the cinema clean, comfortable, and tidy (e.g., retail counters, kitchen areas, screens, washrooms, foyer, corridors, staff room).
9. Help to keep the cinema a safe environment for both customers and staff, identifying and reporting on any suspicious behaviors or disruptions that go against our business values, policies, or procedures.

What Skills Do I Need?

1. Prior working experience is not essential but some experience working with people is preferred.
2. Have a positive can-do attitude and always willing to go the extra mile.
3. A team player that supports your colleagues with various daily tasks.
4. Ability to work at pace in a busy and sometimes pressured environment.
5. Can demonstrate initiative and have the eagerness to learn new skills.
6. Treat your colleagues and customers with respect and are always approachable.
7. Take pride in your appearance and ensure a clean and tidy uniform.
8. A clear communicator with good verbal and written skills.
9. Confident in your ability to use the technology in our cinemas - Till points, ticket scanner, etc.
10. Share a passion for the film and cinema industry.
11. Aligned with our core values and can demonstrate these every day.
