Join the Energy at Freedom Leisure – Do Good Feel Good!

At Freedom Leisure, we’re all about positive vibes, great people and making a real impact. Yes, we run leisure and cultural facilities, gyms, and swimming pools - but at the heart of it all, it’s our people who make the difference.

As one of the UK’s leading charitable leisure trusts, we’re proud of our mission of Improving Lives Through Leisure. We’re here to help communities live healthier, happier lives by making our centres welcoming, inclusive and accessible to everyone - because everyone deserves to feel good. We’re all about delivering amazing customer service with a smile - every single day. We create spaces where people feel at home, supported and inspired.

If you’re passionate about helping others and love creating great experiences, you’ll feel right at home with us. You don’t need to be an expert to get started - we’ll give you all the training and support you need. With over 130 centres across England and Wales, there’s loads of room to grow. Many of our team have built amazing careers doing what they love, helping customers day-to-day and making people feel good.

We’re proud to be a workplace where everyone is welcome, valued and supported to thrive - because when our team reflects the communities we serve, we all grow stronger together.

We’re looking for enthusiastic and customer-focused individuals to join our Strikes Bar team! This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a lively environment where you’ll help keep the energy high and the snacks flowing for our customers.

As Bar Staff, you’ll greet visitors with a smile and create a welcoming atmosphere. You’ll serve alcohol, soft drinks, snacks including Rollover Hot Dogs, making sure every customer has a great experience. You’ll keep the area tidy and well-presented, replenish stock and vending machines and maintain clean, organised spaces. Food hygiene and health & safety compliance will always be part of your role.

We’re looking for someone friendly, approachable and able to work in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential and while experience in hospitality or food service is a bonus, it’s not required—we’ll provide full training.
