We know what you're thinking. What the role entails so you can decide if it's the right fit.

Throughout the week you might be hosting a Shufl Board competition, teaching someone how to throw an axe, running a corporate party or a mega full venue hire, hosting Hens & Stags, and creating unforgettable moments for everyone.

You’ll be the life of the party, seizing every opportunity, and being the venue guru on all things Boom. You’ll learn our gaming rules through training, then explain them to guests.

• This is a fixed term contract role, you will start 29th September and your employment will end on 28th December. If a permanent position becomes available you will have to re‑apply at that time.

• 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 another 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 – plenty of therapy sessions and other support.
• Be in the runnings to win incredible incentives on a regular basis – such as a Brixton Brewery Tour, London bar hopping with Bacardi, Johnnie Walker tour with a fine dining experience, F1 Race Days, concert & sporting tickets, all expenses paid holiday to Ibiza, hampers to take home and so much more!
