Barback - The Cause

The Cause is an award winning, fully independent multi venue dance music institution. We are a vital part of London’s nightlife ecosystem and we pride ourself in supporting charitable causes and championing underground dance music. Our open-door policy welcomes everyone equally, regardless of musical tastes, gender, race, class, age, sexual persuasion or kinks.

We’re currently hiring barbacks & cup collectors to join our team. This is an ideal role for anyone looking to get their foot in the door and learn how a busy club runs behind the scenes.

THE ROLE

As a barback/cup collector, you’ll work closely with our bar and floor teams to help keep everything running smoothly on event nights. You’ll support bartenders, clear cups, restock supplies, and help keep the venue clean and safe.

It’s a fast-paced, physical role that puts you at the core of our operations - and can open the door to other roles within the venue as you grow.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Clear used cups and glassware from bars and dancefloors

• Wash and sort reusable cups and help with recycling

• Restock fridges, ice, glassware, and other bar supplies

• Support the bar team during busy periods

• Help set up and pack down events when needed

• Flag any maintenance or safety issues to the supervisor

• Keep the venue tidy and assist with general cleanliness throughout the night

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Passionate about the live music industry, hospitality and customer service

• Comfortable working late nights and weekends

• Good at working in a team and taking direction

• No previous experience needed, but some experience in bars, events, or hospitality is a plus

PAY & HOURS

• £12.75 per hour

• Part-time, with the chance to pick up more hours—especially over busy periods like December

• Mainly weekend and late night shifts

We’re an equal opportunities employer—everyone is welcome to apply. We hire based on attitude and potential, not just experience.

WHAT’S NEXT?

We get a lot of interest, so if you don’t hear back straight away, it just means we’re still reviewing applications. We aim to respond to everyone within a month of the closing date.

If you’re shortlisted, we’ll invite you to an interview at the venue.

Thanks for your interest—we look forward to hearing from you.
