About GObowling and our Recruitment Philosophies
GObowling is not just a family entertainment centre and a destination point in Dunstable, it is also the second largest real tenpin bowling centre in the UK with 32 bowling lanes. In addition to offering our customers the chance to bowl on possibly the best maintained bowling lanes in the UK, we also have a large bar called The Garden Drinks & Cocktails Bar, which doubles up as a sports bar showing live sports on multiple screens, and a restaurant called Kitchen 22, which serves some great food and drinks. We also have a large amusement arcade with video games and pool tables for both grown ups, as well as children. To learn more about what we do, please check out the rest of this website.
We have a young great team working for us at GObowling with most of our staff being between 16 and 25 years of age. As some of our staff tend to head off for university or other careers, we are normally looking for new staff to fill various vacant spots.
You don’t need to have any prior experience in working for a bowling centre like ours. More important for us when we recruit new staff is to find the right type of candidates that can fit in with our team. If you want to work for GObowling, you need to be friendly, good with people, customer oriented and not be afraid to work hard. The rest we can train you on.
At GObowling, it is not just our policy, we pride ourselves on being able to train staff up and promote from within the organisation rather than recruit for senior positions from outside of GObowling. If you do a good job for us, it is our responsibility to look after you and give you the opportunities to grow and get more experience under your belt.
GObowling is open every day except Christmas Day and we work two shifts a day. A day shift and an evening shift. Whilst the timing of our shifts vary depending on which the day of the week it is, you can get an idea about what working hours are by looking at our Opening Hours are at the footer of this page.
