The role
Are you outgoing, confident and motivated to play an important part in keeping the atmosphere on a night out friendly and respectful, and to support people who may be vulnerable?
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are looking to train and provide Club Welfare Crew in our venue to improve our ability to look after our guests on a night out, and to identify and support people who may be vulnerable. While on shift with a fellow crew member, you will mingle with guests, take opportunities to promote positive behaviour, and help guests in practical ways.
As Club Welfare Crew you will work alongside security, management and bar staff on our busiest nights (Thursday to Saturday with an occasional Wednesday). Please note that hours are nights only.
You will receive the following to prepare you for and support you in the role:
- 1 full-day dedicated training
- Drinkaware Crew uniform
- Drinkaware Crew kit
To succeed in this role you will need to be:
- In tune with the culture, interests and trends of our usual club and venue guests (typically 18-24 year olds).
- Socially confident, able to chat and mingle with guests and be assertive enough to encourage positive behaviour.
- Open-minded and non-judgemental, with good listening skills to support vulnerable or distressed guests, or those who have over-consumed alcohol.
- Pro-active and able to work on your own initiative and with other staff in a busy club environment.
- Resilient enough to cope with verbal abuse and keep calm in challenging situations.
- Keen and happy to attend structured training.
