Party Host

We are Places for People Group, a social enterprise that believes it’s people that make a community. At Places Leisure, we are changing lives by creating active places and healthy people for communities to thrive, and we want to be the UK’s leading health and wellbeing enabler.

It will be your responsibility to help run fun, interactive and memorable parties for children at our centres. Party Hosts will ensure all guests' needs are met from organising games and activities, ensuring food and drink is ready, and ensuring fun and safety are at the heart of what we offer.

You will have an outgoing manner and it would be preferable to have experience of working with children; however, experience in a previous role where customer service was your main focus would be extremely beneficial for this role. Party Hosts will need to have buckets of energy and enthusiasm but most importantly you will need a flexible attitude to work due to the need to cover parties sometimes at short notice.

We know that there’s always more we can do to make you smile, that’s why we offer a comprehensive benefits package with each role, yours will include:

• We align with the Real Living Wage foundation
• A bonus scheme for all colleagues at 2%
• Full Health & Fitness membership for you, a nominated adult and up to 4 juniors
• Flexible working (including part time working, shift work and more)
• An opportunity to purchase additional annual leave
• Lots of opportunity to access ongoing personal learning and development
• Access to our Company Pension scheme
• Cashback plan for healthcare costs – up to £500 saving per year
• Discounts of up to 50% on activities, centre shop and cafes
• Extra perks including huge discounts and offers from shops, cinemas and much more.

If you meet the criteria and are ready to make the next step in your career then apply following our simple 5 minute application process, upload a CV and a supporting statement which demonstrates how you meet the requirements of the role.

Please note that we may bring the closing date forward if we receive a large number of quality applications. If you are interested in this role we would advise applying immediately to avoid disappointment.

By joining Places for People, you are expected to contribute to our safeguarding culture, following our policies and reporting concerns to protect those in our communities.

We are proud to support the Armed Forces Covenant. Places for People will guarantee an interview for any candidate who is serving or has formerly served in the Armed Forces, as a reservist, armed forces veteran (including the wounded, injured and sick), cadet instructor and military spouse/partner and who meets the essential criteria for the vacancy.
