Summary
PLEASE NOTE: we are looking for someone to support our existing team through the 'peak' period of our year - from around February half-term until the end of October half-term in early November. We are therefore unable to progress applicants going to university in September unless they live locally and can work whilst at university. This is advertised as a temporary role but could become permanent if a vacancy arises. Mature candidates are most welcome.
We operate two amusement arcades and an aquarium attraction in Matlock Bath. One is open 10am-10pm 364 days a year, and the other is open every day from February half-term until the end of the October half-term holidays.
We are currently looking for either one full-time person, or two part-timers. If we were to recruit one full-timer, we anticipate there will typically be in the region of 36-42 hours per week. If we were to recruit two part timers, we anticipate there will typically be 18-24 hours per week each. Please note that additional shifts/hours may be required over school holiday periods and at other times (for example when other staff are on holiday).
We are a long-established business, operating more than 50 years in Matlock Bath. We are looking for someone capable of working within a small team, who is flexible enough to work a variety of shifts of between 6hr and 12hrs, including day shifts, evenings and weekends until 10pm (and sometimes a little later). Shifts can be a mixture of 10am-4pm, 4-10pm+, 10am-10pm+ or 10am until 5/6pm+ including at the weekend. It is important that candidates can get to & from Matlock Bath in line with our opening & closing hours so please consider how you might get to and from the village in line with these shift times before you apply. Please note that we will not progress any applicants looking for Monday to Friday and/or ‘daytime’ work only – weekends and evenings are an integral part of what we do.
This is a 'hands-on' role based on the shop floor and the successful candidate will be required to work on the arcade floor, in our cash desks and at our aquarium as and when needed. We can be extremely busy (or quiet) and need someone good with people, who is happy to be on their feet & 'roll their sleeves up' to get the job done as part of a small team. The job itself is fairly straightforward and involves keeping the business clean and tidy, our machines well stocked, doing some basic admin and helping customers with any problems. At our aquarium, and in the cash desks you may be involved in handling cash, using a till and other miscellaneous tasks as required, and 'hands-on' training will be provided.
Please note that as a gambling business, the law says that we can only employ those aged eighteen and above, and we will only consider applications from candidates that we consider live within reasonable commuting distance of Matlock Bath.
Qualifications
Strong customer service skills with a focus on customer satisfaction
Cash handling experience is an advantage
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Flexibility to work various shifts, including weekends and holidays
Team-oriented mindset with a positive attitude towards collaboration
