We are very excited that we will shortly be opening a brand new ODEON Luxe Cinema in Queensgate Shopping Centre, Peterborough.

About ODEON:

Founded in 1930, ODEON is the largest and best-known cinema chain in the UK and Ireland. Since then, the world famous ODEON Luxe Leicester Square has hosted hundreds of Europe’s biggest film premieres.

ODEON is not only somewhere to watch films, but somewhere to experience them too. Today we are owned by AMC theatres, the largest movie exhibition company in the world, and our passion for film and the whole cinema experience is so deep-routed that it is embodied in everything we do.

We pride ourselves in delivering the very best cinema experience, cutting edge technology and the widest choice of experiences. While we’re known for showing blockbuster films, we also host screenings of the worlds best live events including dance, theatre, music, live sports, gaming and other cultural events.

Our Cinema Hosts are at the heart of our cinemas, navigating our guests through an immersive cinema experience. Now’s your chance to make movies better.

What you’ll bring:

A strong commitment and willingness to work with others, because this is a place where the team seamlessly unites to deliver. Where better to collaborate, step up and make the magic happen than with people who share your passion?
Being always prepared to go the extra mile – for your colleagues and our guests – and you look for innovative solutions if you see a need or a gap

You appreciate the things that make people different from you and understand that there is always more to learn
Trust and respect. Diversity and equity are our strengths, inclusion is our superpower. So be yourself, work hard and help everyone else do the same

What we’ll bring:

An environment where you can revel in your passion. Go ahead and talk to guests about it, post about it, even sing about it if you want to
A team full of movie fans just like you, a team dedicated to delivering an awe-inspiring experience for our guests. Every colleague has a part to play in creating the best big-screen experience
We actively create a safe space for people to be themselves. And we never forget that the true magic of cinema is about more than movies – it is about you
We’ll bring a promise to always treat you in the same way as we treat our guests. There is a warm welcome for everyone here and we love to share the magic around
We’ll help you navigate and build a long-term career or learn skills for the next stage of your journey. Tell us where you want to be, and we will do our best to help you get there
