Brighton Fringe Jobs

For both jobs described below, we are looking for passionate, fun, experienced staff who are available full time or part time to work between 12 noon and 2am on a rota basis from 1 May to 26 May 2008 inclusive, including weekends. Applicants must have their own accommodation in Brighton throughout that period. Standard wage awards apply.

Box Office Team

You’ll be working in our box office in the Udderbelly Pasture on Old Steine. Previous experience is not essential, but you must be a good communicator, extremely friendly and be able to stay calm in sometimes busy and difficult situations. Seeing as the box office system is computerised, you should be able to work a computer without feeling the need to jump out of a window, though detailed computer literacy is not essential. The box office is a great place to work. You meet lots of people and offer customers their first view of the venue.

Dates of Work: 1 May to 26 May 2008 inclusive

APPLICATIONS: Please email explaining which post(s) you would like to apply for and why we should employ you, together with a CV and passport photo to Marina Dixon on jointheherd@underbelly.co.uk. Applications must be received by 20 April 2008.

Front of House Team

The front of house team are responsible for getting audiences to the right theatre, troubleshooting, making sure shows start on time, ushering and being friendly to as many members of the public as possible. You work closely with the box office team and like them, meet lots of people. Front of house staff patrol the venue and ensure people are going to the right place at the right time. As well as this, you are there to answer any questions that either public or performers may have. You should be friendly, good with people and able to organise large numbers of people. There’s not much sitting at desks involved in the job so you should be good on your feet, have a confident manner and big voice, and be willing to scramble to action at a moments’ notice.

Dates of Work: 1 May to 26 May 2008 inclusive
