About Us:
The Piano Works are coming to Cardiff — and we’re on the lookout for full and part-time, fun-loving, passionate, and guest-focused Barbacks to join our growing family. Already a hit in London with two buzzing live music venues in Covent Garden and Farringdon, we're bringing the same high-energy mix of restaurant, bar, concert, and non-stop party to the heart of Cardiff.
If you're passionate about hospitality, live music, and making guests smile, and you’ve got around a year’s experience in fast-paced environments like bars, clubs, live music venues, or experiential party spaces — we’d love to hear from you.
