The historic Carnegie and Arts Centre is one of Workington’s much loved buildings and West Cumbria’s premier theatre, entertainment and arts centre. We programme a diverse range of performances, shows and events across the year featuring family shows, comedy, music, opera, ballet, lectures and spoken word events, rock and pop concerts and musicals from the professional touring circuit and from community based performers.
The Carnegie Arts Centre is also home to weekly arts participatory classes and workshops featuring ballet, tap, modern and street dance, singing, acting, musicianship and karate with business and community groups using the facilities for meetings, coffee mornings, seminars and ceremonies.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals that have a passion for arts, theatre and entertainment. We want people to join our team of volunteers who represent our theatre to the highest standard, who put safety and security of other people as their utmost priority while doing so in a polite and friendly manner.
As frontline volunteers, Front of House Stewards help ensure our patrons have a positive and enjoyable experience from the instant they enter our venue to the moment they leave.
The main duty as a Front of House Steward is to assist our audiences into and out of the auditorium or bar, and responsibilities will vary from each performance. Stewards must perform all duties to a high standard of customer care in attitude, approach and appearance. A basic knowledge of Health & Safety regulations would support your application along with good communication skills, good time keeping and attendance (if any previous work experience).
Please be aware that the role can be a physically demanding one, and there will be times when you are standing for significant periods of time. You may be asked to attend an interview, arranged on review of your application.
If successful at interview you will be invited for induction and training shifts. We ask that any volunteers look to support us with a minimum of 2 shifts per month.
