Front of House Assistants
Woolwich Creative District Trust
ARE you? Enthusiastic and positive; someone who enjoys helping people. Friendly and approachable, with a proactive approach and doesn’t mind working on their own and also loves being part of a team. Takes their own initiative and can take instructions when needed.
Volunteers at Woolwich Works will play a central part in helping us create an inviting and friendly atmosphere for everyone who visits our venue. You’ll support our Visitor Services Assistants in being part of the welcome team. You’ll help people find their way around the building, always being open and friendly. As a volunteer, you will ensure that tickets are checked and valid, and help visitors to their seats. You will be guided by the Duty Manager, who will show you the ropes and be there to answer any of your questions. All of our volunteer positions are based on leading by example in a supportive environment. We are looking to create a pool of volunteers from across our borough, so that people can get as involved as they like.

Woolwich Works is an organisation that fosters a culture of continuous improvement and as a volunteer, you’ll benefit from our step up programme. We’ll pay for your travel home and expenses and you will also have access to staff discounts in our café and to a selection of shows. We’ll help you develop your skills with mentoring and coaching, by managers and senior managers and we will deliver training at no cost to you in such things as Manual Handling, Fire Warden, First Aid, Customer Services and Disability Equality Training. You’ll be the first to be sent opportunities for paid work and apprenticeships. You’ll get to see world class performances.

Getting Here Rail & DLR Woolwich Arsenal National Rail station is approximately 550m from our main entrance and is served by Southeastern services to Sidcup, Dartford, Slade Green, Charing Cross and Cannon Street, and Thameslink services to Rainham (Kent) and Luton via Central London. Woolwich Arsenal Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station is on the same site as the National Rail station and is the south-eastern terminus of the Stratford branch of the network. DLR services link the site to London City Airport (around 8 minutes travel time) and to the London Underground Jubilee Line via Canning Town. Uber Boat by Thames Clippers - River Bus The site is served directly by RB1 River Bus services to Woolwich Royal Arsenal pier, which is directly outside the north-eastern corner of the building. Services currently run during commuter hours (6am – 11am and 5pm – 9pm during weekdays and from 8am – 9pm at weekends). The Uber Boat by Thames Clippers timetable can be found here. Bus Routes: 51, 96, 122, 161, 177, 180, 244 Woolwich Town Centre is well-served by a number of bus routes – all of which serve stops close to the Royal Arsenal Riverside estate on Plumstead Road, Woolwich New Road or Burrage Road, less than 10 minutes walk to Woolwich Works. Cycling We reckon cycling is one of the best options for getting to and from Woolwich Works. There are cycle lanes on several of the main roads leading into Woolwich, or for the most scenic route you could try the Thames Path. We’re only a short ride following the river from Greenwich. Plus there are plenty of bike parking spots available onsite and around the Royal Arsenal. Taxis & Minicabs The nearest licensed taxi rank is across Plumstead Road to the south of Beresford Square. Minicabs cannot access the building directly other than via the Heritage Centre Car Park. The Trust will encourage minicabs to drop off outside the pedestrianised zone on Duke of Wellington Avenue and will endeavour to pin this location for digital mapping purposes.
