Hollywood Bowl Group says it recruits only the most energetic and engaging individuals, who share the entertainment company's values and are proud to be part of what it does. In return, it offers a fun, supportive environment that gives a sense of integrity and purpose, offering the opportunity to develop rewarding careers at every level.

To ensure that like-minded people continue to join the organisation, Hollywood Bowl has introduced a "star spotter" scheme, through which employees can earn up to £1,000 for introducing new talent to the business.

"Our ways of working define the environment in which our teams work. We are inclusive, encouraging, champions of progression," it says.

The company specialises in operating large, high-quality bowling centres that are often near cinemas and casual-dining sites on large, edge-of-town leisure and retail developments. Its centres are designed to offer a complete family-entertainment experience, with each one offering at least 12 bowling lanes, on-site American-themed dining, licensed bars and family amusement areas.

It is made up of three brands - Hollywood Bowl and AMF Bowling, for bowling, and Puttstars, for mini-golf - in 67 centres.

The group knows that looking after its team has a positive effect on the way they look after its customers, so it puts people at the heart of everything it does. It offers a bonus scheme to all hourly-paid team members to enhance the rate of pay and a wide range of benefits.
