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 kitchen team for an average of 1 - 3 shifts a week. We are looking for someone who is a hard worker, passionate about food and works well under pressure. During the summer months we are quieter but shifts pick up from September through to June.

Pay:£12.76ph + tips and a bonus scheme, paid 4 weekly.

Job Roles & Responsibilities:

• Assist head chef in prep and service
• Produce high quality food, quickly and efficiently
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness in the kitchen and follow food hygiene laws
• Assist the head chef with deliveries and deep cleans
• Take instruction from the kitchen and venue manager

Qualifications Needed:

Must have a Level 2 Food Hygiene Training and Certificate.

Things To Know:

• Shifts start between 5pm - 6.30pm and generally finish between 9.00pm and 10.00pm.
• 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 service 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 250 covers) before the show starts.
• Previous experience in a busy kitchen is preferred.
• Must be able to work weekends and evenings. Must be available to work for most of December including 31st December.

Perks:

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

• Friendly, inclusive and interesting place to work.
• Short, evening shifts, perfect for anyone studying or someone looking for a part time job.
