Job description

Overview

We know what you’re thinking. What the **** is a Boom Host?... We think it’s one of the best roles going in the hospitality industry, and here is more to help you decide.

Throughout the week you could be doing anything from hosting a Shufl Board competition, showing someone’s grandparents how to throw an axe, hosting a Corporate Party or a mega full venue hire, to hosting Hens and Stags and creating a truly epic unforgettable moment for them.

You’ll be the life of the party, ready to seize every opportunity and make it count, and the venue guru on all things Boom. You’ll know our gaming rules inside out through training with extraordinary team members and you’ll be fully game-fluent, able to explain them to anyone coming into our business. We seek to make people’s day, creating the unexpected and spontaneous sparks that light the fuse and get the party well and truly started.

Why Boom?

• We are our team’s biggest advocates! We’ll give you a clear personal development plan for you to be promoted to your dream role with or without us.
• Paid holiday
• Enjoy one free annual Escape Hunt adventure per year!
• 50% off on food and drink in any of our venues at Boom Battle Bar & Escape Hunt!
• Access to your tips weekly through TipJar
• Life Assurance policy once your probation has been passed.
• Workplace pension from the age of 22 and above with employer contributions.
• Access to platforms such as Wagestream and their financial services and to Medicash, providing help with everyday healthcare costs and extra discounts and rewards
• Looking for good karma? We’ve got you covered with an annual paid day off for our 'Karma Day' — volunteer for a day with an organisation of your choice to make a difference.
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme including 24/7 access to free, confidential and specialist mental health/wellbeing support. Ten free therapy sessions are among the many benefits.
• Be in the running to win incredible incentives on a regular basis, such as Brixton Brewery Tour, London bar hopping with Bacardi, Johnnie Walker tour with fine dining, F1 Race Days, Concert & Sporting Tickets, all-expenses-paid holidays to Ibiza, hampers, and more.

Who We Are

Boom Battle Bar is the unrivalled leader in the world of competitive socialising. Picture Axe Throwing, Beer Pong, Augmented Darts, Karaoke and a whole lot more, all wrapped up in an atmosphere booming with epic cocktails, live DJ beats, and nothing but good vibes.

Our journey began with a bang in 2022, and we haven’t hit the brakes since. We proudly launched our first international venue in Dubai during the summer of 2023, and the party continues as we expand across the country.

We’re not just about the games and the drinks; we’re about creating unforgettable experiences and getting people truly lost in the moment, escaping their reality and wanting to come back for more. It’s when our guests say, “Screw it, I’ll be hungover tomorrow,” that we know we’ve succeeded.

And who makes it all happen? You — part of our exceptional teams of top talent!
