What our team say

  • I found that working at Ballie Ballerson gave real purpose to my career, I was seen for my potential and I was given the opportunity and tools to grow. Through great mentoring, guidance and hard work I went from cloakroom attendant to Group HR Manager with multiple promotions over the 6 years of working here!

    HR Manager

  • Ballie has allowed me to develop my skills and experience in hosting and sales, it has also enabled me to immensely grow as a person. Itโ€™s probably one of the most fun places to work in ever! The vibe in general is super fun and welcoming, allowing space for everyone to form great relationships with colleagues here.

    VIP Supervisor

  • What I really love about working at Ballie is the experience that we can offer to the guests. That amazement when they first walk into the venue, and when they see the ball pit! Receiving amazing feedback from guests is absolutely priceless, and I have very often been told that they've had one of the best parties ever at Ballie!

    General Manager

We work when the 9-5'ers sleep ๐Ÿฆ‰๐ŸŒ‰

It's pretty obvious that working here doesn't fit a usual 9-5 shift pattern, however, we take your rota, working hours and shift patterns super seriously to ensure you have a balanced work + home life โš–๏ธ.

An example rota for a general manager in one of our venues would typically look like this:

  • Sunday + Monday - generally fixed days off.
  • Tuesday - Thursday - 2 management day shifts (9am - 5pm sort of thing) and 1 mid-shift (think 12 pm-9 pm)
  • Friday - Saturday - 2 peak shifts as venue manager
