Ready to help guests fall in love with London, one rotation at a time?
We’re looking for brilliant Ride Hosts to join the team at the London Eye, one of the UK’s most iconic attractions and an unforgettable way to experience the city. From the first hello to final goodbye, you’ll be right there, helping guests feel welcome, informed and excited as they step into their journey above London.
As a Ride Host, you’re part host, part guide and part magician.

It’s fast paced, guest facing and full of variety, just like London itself.
What you’ll be doing:
- Welcoming guests with a friendly smile and genuine enthusiasm
- Making sure guests board and leave the pods safely and smoothly
- Managing queues with a calm, upbeat and approachable attitude
- Sharing clear, helpful information so guests know exactly what to expect
- Promoting London Eye experiences such as Fast Track, VIP and Cluster tickets
- Explaining product benefits in a natural, guest focused way
- Using and looking after operational equipment including ticket scanners and queue barriers
- Delivering great service outdoors in all weather conditions
- Working closely with teammates to keep everything running like clockwork
- Reporting safety concerns or incidents quickly and appropriately
- Supporting and training new team members through shadowing and guidance
