Bask in the Lively Atmosphere
In our pubs, the summer vibe is unparalleled. Whatever your role, you'll deliver top-notch customer service and soak up the carefree energy that defines a Great British summer. Whether that's the joy of spending an afternoon in a sun-drenched beer garden, or commiserating a rainy day in July under shelter with good company.

Every day is a chance to enhance your communication and teamwork abilities in the fast-paced, people-focused environment of our pubs – providing endless avenues for professional growth.
We’ve got team members who started as seasonal temps and are now thriving in management roles. Our supportive managers and close-knit teams will encourage you to explore different paths within the business, turning your seasonal role into a potential long-term career.
Enjoy Perks that Make Your Summer Shine
The long, sunny days of summer are all about making the most of your free time and creating lasting memories. As a seasonal employee at Greene King, you'll not only earn extra cash to fund your adventures, but also enjoy a fantastic benefits package that includes 33% off food and drink, half-price hotel stays, and a 15% discount for your loved ones to enjoy with you.
We know that life is expensive right now, especially for people in temporary jobs. For those times where unexpected expenses pop up, we offer financial support programs, like early wage access and emergency grants, to help you navigate life's curveballs.
