Job Description
Company Description:
West Country Games is looking for confident, friendly and reliable part-time team members to help run our outdoor group activity days near Long Ashton, just outside Bristol.
We host stag groups, hen groups, birthday groups and corporate teams, so this is not your average weekend job. You’ll be outdoors, working with a fun team, leading silly games, keeping groups entertained and helping people have a brilliant day.
If you’re great with people, happy to get stuck in and don’t fancy spending your Saturdays behind a till, this could be a perfect fit.
The role
Job title: Saturday Activity Host / Event Crew - Must be 18+
Location: Gatcombe Farm, Long Ashton, BS48 3QT
Hours: Saturdays, usually 09:00–17:00
Season: Mainly March to October
Commitment: Ideally 2–4 Saturdays per month
Pay: £10.85 - £12.71.00 per hour depending on age/experience

What you’ll be doing
You’ll help our customers have a brilliant day from start to finish.
This includes:
welcoming groups when they arrive
giving clear safety briefings
explaining the rules for each game
keeping the energy up and making the day fun
making sure safety kit is worn properly
helping groups move around the site
taking group photos
setting up and packing away equipment
working with the rest of the team to keep the day running smoothly
There is some physical work involved, so you’ll need to be happy lifting, carrying and working outdoors.
You’ll be great for this role if you are
confident, friendly and good with people
reliable and available on Saturdays
comfortable speaking in front of groups
able to bring energy and personality to the day
happy working outdoors in different weather
sensible around health and safety
able to challenge poor behaviour when needed
a team player who is also happy using their own initiative
able to travel reliably to our site near Long Ashton
Experience in hospitality, events, sport, coaching, drama, customer service, festivals, activity centres or group entertainment would be useful, but it is not essential.
The main thing we’re looking for is the right attitude.
What you’ll get from it
fun Saturday work
paid training
outdoor work instead of being stuck inside
a friendly team
staff socials and post-event pub trips
useful experience in events, customer service and group leadership
confidence-building experience leading groups
casual dress
on-site parking
easy access from Bristol by bus routes
