Job Description

Please note that we are unable to recruit anyone under the age of eighteen for this position.

Student arcade staff (eg when home from university)

We employ several students who work during the Easter, Summer & Christmas school holiday periods when home from university, and we are now looking to recruit an additional student for the summer period and beyond. During the holiday periods above, we can typically offer 18-24 hours a week (or more). While we have historically recruited students who are returning home from university, we are also open to the idea of recruiting students living in the area permanently who may be able to work one or two shifts at the weekend, and then more during holiday periods in line with the above. Further information about the typical duties involved in this role is below.

About us, and the staff roles working in the arcades

We operate two amusement arcades and an aquarium attraction in Matlock Bath, and are a long-established business, having operated for more than 50 years in the village.

We are looking for honest and dependable people capable of working within a small team, who are 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 vary each week, and 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 (10am-10pm) so please consider how you might get to and from the village in line with these shift times before you apply.

These are 'hands-on' roles, and the successful candidates 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 during peak periods and need personable people who are happy to be on their feet & 'roll their sleeves up' to get the job done as part of a small team. The staff job itself is fairly straightforward and involves keeping the business clean and tidy, our machines well stocked, doing 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 undertaking 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 who we consider to live within reasonable commuting distance of Matlock Bath. For those living further afield and outside of the immediate Matlock area, it would be advantageous to have your own transport.
