Fancy preparing premium afternoon tea for our guests? Take a step back in time and experience the Blackpool Tower Ballroom as a Kitchen Assistant!

Working in our kitchen in the famous Blackpool Tower feels pretty unique, but also fun and exciting. Therefore, we’re looking for people who strive for the best and are guest focused.

What we are looking for

  • Previous kitchen assistant experience (desirable)
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • The ability to work and remain calm under pressure
  • A relevant food safety qualification would be an advantage but not crucial as training will be provided

This is a busy kitchen role primarily prepping Afternoon Tea’s throughout the day. On a typical day you could be preparing a selection of sandwiches, scones, and cakes, making sure they are perfectly presented before being served by our hosts, adhering to all food safety policies and regulations. You’ll also ensure all areas are kept clean and well stocked, working well within the team to promote a culture of fun.

These are seasonal, temporary, fixed term positions to support us during the main 2023 season. Times of shifts will vary and will include late nights, early mornings, weekends and bank and school holidays. Contracts will start from June and run through to November.

What’s in it for you

Alongside becoming an expert in preparing food for our guests, you’ll also receive:

  • Fortnightly pay depending on age, under 18: £6.50ph, 18-20: £7.75ph, 21-22: £10.18ph or 23+: £10.42ph
  • 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants and 40% off LEGO online
  • Merlin Magic Pass - giving you free tickets to all our attractions worldwide for you, your family, and friends every year
  • Employee pricing up to 55% off cinema tickets

Please note we will be running a Recruitment Event on Wednesday 21st June; therefore, we expect shortlisted candidates to attend.

Everyone Matters at Merlin.
At Merlin we welcome the world to our magical attractions and resorts every day and we want to reflect that same multicultural mix inside our business too. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves, have the same opportunities and thrive together. Because at Merlin, everyone matters! Together, we work to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, no matter their age, race, gender, disability or sexual orientation. Although we understand that we'll always be learning and growing, we aim to be the most inclusive and flexible employer in our industry.

If you have any questions or if you require any assistance, because of a disability or medical condition, please contact us by email at Midway.Recruitment@merlinentertainments.biz and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
