Full Job Description

  • No axe throwing experience required. Just bring the attitude and personality - we can train you to do the rest.

  • Guest experience. Bring your enthusiasm to create an atmosphere where all guests have a great time and no-one's left behind.

  • Timekeeping. Run a tight event that keeps to the schedule.

  • Safety. Be a champion of safety by keeping guests in check and ensuring the venue is always well maintained.

  • Variety. Typical shift can be anything from 4 to 8 hours, involves running some 70-minute axe throwing sessions, mixed in with stints on the bar, check-in, drink service and popping pizzas in the oven and making sure our guests have a great time.

    We're Whistle Punks and we're all about people, well people and axes...!


  • Do our 5-star reviews rave about the quality of our wood or how lovely our axes are? Nope. It's all about our team, our people, our Punks. They make the experience. They create the magic. Wanna join them?

    We brought urban axe throwing to the UK back in 2016 and, ever since, we have been at the top of our game in the hugely popular competitive socialising scene.

    In that time our guests have thrown over 10 million axes. All those throws add up to an axe travelling all the way around the world!

    We now have venues in Bristol, Leeds, London and Manchester with plans for more in the future. We've grown from 5 to a team of over a 100!

    From day one:
  • We provide a great place to work, and a job really like no other, not many jobs pay you to throw axes!

  • Development & Growth Opportunities . Earn increased pay through our Punk Pathways development program of Bronze, Silver & Gold - open to all.

  • Health. Access to Health Assured - Mental Health & Wellbeing support.

  • Flexible Pay & Financial Wellbeing Support through Wagestream

  • Discount Rewards though our Reward partner Hospitality Rewards

  • Refreshments. Drinks and snacks provided on shift.

  • Social. Subsidized team socials via each venue's Punk Social Fund.

  • Be a Culture Champ - after passing probation play an active role in continuing to make Whistle Punks a great place to work through delivery of Employee Voice and ED&I initiatives.

  • Free axe throwing. Play for free - you can even bring your family too!

  • Bring your whole self. We want you to show off who you are, not hide it. Our dress code is just a Whistle Punks t-shirt - the rest is up to you.


  • Our peak days are always Thursdays through to Saturday, it is crucial you have regular weekend availability. Our min contracts start at 6 to 12 hours a week.

    This job is ideal as a part time gig through University studies, a side hustle or a main hustle! We live our values of "You're With Us", "Better than Yesterday" and "Built to Last" every day, so if we sound like your kinda place, apply and see just how great we are!
