CINEWORLD is on a major recruitment drive ahead of the opening of its new 13-screen cinema in Warrington.

The cinema, located in the Time Square Leisure Complex, is set to open its doors in December and will create up to 70 jobs.

In a bid to fill roles and engage the community, Cineworld is hosting an open day for prospective employees on Sunday, October 13.

There are a variety of positions available including Cineworld team leader, team member roles, as well as barista positions at Starbucks, which will form part of the new cinema.

All roles are on either a part or full-time basis.

The recruitment day will also offer visitors the opportunity to find out more about careers at Cineworld, as well as ask company staff questions and apply directly.

The new cinema will feature 13 state-of-the-art screens showing the latest Hollywood releases, as well as pick ‘n’ mix and Baskin Robbins ice cream counters.
