Who are we?
Founded in 2022, LVLS has quickly risen to become Newcastle's premier multi-entertainment venue. We host several attractions under one roof, including escape rooms provided by Escape, the UK’s largest escape room company. We have also expanded our operations to include interactive axe-throwing, a board games cafe, and several exciting upcoming attractions yet to be announced. We are looking to hire one games master to focus on the axe-throwing range, and one to focus on the escape rooms, but the successful candidate will be overseing variety of tasks.
What does the role consist of?
This role is located at our family entertainment centre in central Newcastle. We are looking for part-time Games Masters. You must be available Saturdays and Sundays, as well as occasional weekday and evening shifts.
The role will consist of looking after groups of customers from the minute they enter until the minute they depart. It is a varied role with a number of responsibilities. Given that we host many different activities that each have variety of tasks associated, flexibility is key.
The ideal candidate will be able to provide:
- A real, warm, friendly welcome and pregame group briefing.
- Cover all health and safety aspects, and set the scene for the customer's experience.
- Managing the game to ensure that customers gain maximum enjoyment from the experience.
- Team debrief, answer questions and most importantly getting a team photo.
- General cleaning and resetting, which can be extensive to align with HSE guidelines.
- Easy maintenance of some aspects of the site.
- Deal with phone and email enquiries, maintain site admin, and interact on social media.
- Basic food preparation and hygiene.
- Undertake additional training when needed.
What are we looking for?
Customer service skills – You need to be a confident individual who is comfortable speaking in front of groups of up to 50 and holding their attention. You must deliver excellent customer service to all teams.
Dependable - You must be able to work independently as the need arises. You will be responsible for keeping our customers safe and happy. You will be trustworthy and will communicate with the team effectively through Slack.
Initiative - You don’t need a great knowledge of puzzles and escape rooms; what you do need though is the ability to think on your feet. Things don’t always go to plan and sometimes you need to come up with solutions quickly.
Attention to detail – This will help you monitor the progress of all games in play accurately. It is particularly important when setting the rooms/lanes up for the next game and ensuring there are no mistakes.
Flexibility – We are potentially open from early morning to midnight 7 days a week depending on our customers’ requests. You need to be available to work evenings and weekends.
Computer skills – Nothing too complicated but you need to be comfortable using Excel, PowerPoint, our booking system, email and social media.
Teamwork - You must be able to work as a team player, supporting your co-workers and making a collaborative effort to solve problems as they arise.
