Please apply for this job via the New Wolsey Theatre Website.
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age as we cannot guarantee Café & Bar assistants will be supervised in the sale of alcohol.
The New Wolsey Theatre is gearing up for a busy winter season, and we're looking for enthusiastic Café & Bar Assistants to join our vibrant front-of-house team
If you have great customer service skills, enjoy working with the public, and have experience in a café or bar setting, we'd love to hear from you. You don't need theatre experience—just confidence in making and serving drinks, and handling food in a fast-paced hospitality environment.
We're especially looking for team members available on Saturday daytimes, Saturday evenings, and weekday evenings. This is a zero-hours contract offering flexibility, with hours varying based on performance schedules and events.
To work with us, you don't need to have worked in a theatre before but you should:
* Be aged 18 or over
* Have experience in a café, bar, restaurant, hotel, or similar hospitality setting
* Be confident in serving food and drinks in a busy environment
* Have good communication skills and a warm, welcoming attitude
* Enjoy working with the public and delivering great customer service
* Be comfortable working as part of a team and understand the importance of teamwork
* Be willing to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends
* Be happy to work in a fast-paced, fun environment, especially during our Rock 'n' Roll Pantomime season
* Be open to training and support to build on your existing skills
We'd love applications from people of all backgrounds, especially from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds, those who identify as D/deaf and disabled people, neurodivergent people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. We are up for exploring support and development needs and will make reasonable adjustments to enable applicants to participate in the selection process, and for the successful applicant to carry out their role.
If you need us to make any adjustments to allow you to fully participate, would like an informal and confidential discussion about the position, or if you would like any information in a different format please contact us.
The deadline for applications is 9am, Monday 13th October 2025
Interviews will be held at the theatre on Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th October 2025
We will reimburse reasonable travel expenses for candidates to attend an interview.
