Join Our Team – Café & Bar Assistants Wanted!
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.
Our stunning two-floor Café & Bar offers locally-roasted coffee, tasty light bites, and a relaxed atmosphere with step-free access and a lift to the first floor.
Staff perks include:
• Complimentary tickets to our own produced shows
• Invitations to opening nights
• Discounts on visiting shows
• Café & Bar staff discount
Come and be part of a welcoming team in one of Ipswich’s most unique venues!
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
Please note, applicants must be at least 18 years of age as we cannot guarantee Café & Bar assistants will be supervised in the sale of alcohol.
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 the candidate pack in different format please contact Lucy Parker lparker@wolseytheatre.co.uk.
We will reimburse reasonable travel expenses if you are invited to attend an interview.
