Club Host

About Meadows Padel

Meadows Padel is a new North West brand bringing padel, a brunch café and a Pilates studio together under one roof. Our first site has six courts and a mezzanine social space, and we plan to open more sites across the region.

We want to be more than somewhere to book a court. We’re building a place people come to play, eat, train and meet friends, and our hosts make that happen every day.

What you’ll do

You look after every guest from the moment they walk in. Here’s what that looks like day to day.

Welcome players and guests

• Greet members and guests warmly and help them settle in

• Check in court bookings and Pilates classes, and handle enquiries in person, by phone and online

• Handle feedback and sort out small problems before they grow

• Help new players feel at home, from rental rackets to finding a game

Run the café and bar

• Make specialty coffee and serve food and drinks to a high standard

• Keep the counter, kitchen and social space clean, stocked and well presented

• Follow food safety and hygiene procedures on every shift

• Recommend food, drinks, kit and memberships to guests

Help build the community

• Support socials, leagues, tournaments and member events

• Get to know the regulars and make every visit feel welcoming

• Share ideas for events and offers that would bring more people in

Keep the club running smoothly

• Open and close the site following our checklists

• Help with stock counts, deliveries and reducing waste

• Keep courts, changing rooms and public areas tidy and safe

• Follow our safeguarding and health and safety policies

What you’ll bring

You don’t need to know padel yet. You do need to love looking after people.

Essential

• Experience in a customer-facing hospitality, leisure or retail role

• Confident making coffee and serving food and drinks, or keen to learn fast

• Friendly, clear communication with guests and the team

• Comfortable recommending products and upselling

• A proactive attitude and an interest in building a community

• Availability for evening and weekend shifts

• A passion for padel or a willingness to learn the game

Desirable

• Barista or bar experience

• Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate

• Experience with booking or till systems such as Playtomic

What’s in it for you

On top of your hourly pay and tips, once you pass probation you’ll get:

• Training and development budget for courses such as barista training and food hygiene

• Free padel, free Pilates and studio classes, and free food on shift

• Club kit provided for your shifts

• Food card for you to use in the café off shift

Working pattern

This is a hands-on, on-site role. Padel is busiest on evenings and weekends, so you’ll need some weekend availability.

• 15–25 hours a week across the site’s opening hours

• A mix of morning, evening and weekend shifts, planned on a weekly rota

• Shifts set in advance so you can plan around other commitments
