Family entertainment centre Level X and e-sports and gaming venue The Wired Lobby will be among the companies advertising roles at a special jobs fair being held next week.

Those flagship names will be among the first to open at Captain Cook Square in the town centre in the coming months, followed by a boutique cinema and a host of food and drink operators.

Exclusive hospitality roles including chefs, IT specialists, waiting and bar staff, front of house and security will all be available at the recruitment event at Middlesbrough Town Hall.

Other companies represented will include established Middlesbrough businesses like Dovecot, Bentley’s and The Chairman.

Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston said: “Middlesbrough town centre is on the up, and the number of jobs available this year proves it.

“As traditional retail declines on high streets across the UK, our goal has always been to bring more people into our centre to live, work, play and learn.

“We’re already building new houses, supporting our cutting-edge digital industry with the Boho X development, and welcoming a brand-new secondary school and potentially Eton college to our town centre.

“Now with leisure developments like Captain Cook Square, we’re giving Middlesbrough something to be proud of and attracting visitors from far and wide - while providing hundreds of jobs.
“I’d urge anyone interested to go along to the jobs fair and see what’s on offer.”

Middlesbrough Community Learning, the National Careers Service and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will also attend the event offering advice on CV writing, interview techniques and other relevant courses.

Associated Risk Group will offer opportunities to train for roles in security.

As part of Middlesbrough Council’s plans to get more people living, working, learning and spending their leisure time in the town centre, it bought Captain Cook Square with the aim to rebalance the town centre economy.

Level X will open in the former TJ Hughes store, with a state-of-the art electric karting track and vintage gaming machines taking over the first floor and bowling, VR gaming and golf among the attractions packing out the ground floor.

A few doors down in the former Peacock’s store will be The Wired Lobby, Middlesbrough’s first e-sports arena bringing competitive gaming and full-size racing car simulators to the town centre.

Captain Cook Square will also be home to a boutique cinema, a high-end cocktail bar, and exciting new food and drink concepts in 2023 with more announcements expected soon.

The town centre is already home to thriving bars and restaurants in our independent quarter around Baker and Bedford Street, and on Linthorpe Road.
And late last year, cabaret cocktail bar and restaurant Bloom opened close to the soon-to-be remodelled Railway Station at Exchange Square, which is also set to welcome renowned The Muddler restaurant and national operator STACK’s trendy food and drink development in 2023, subject to planning permission.

The jobs fair will be held at Middlesbrough Town Hall, from 9.30am to 12.30pm on Thursday, January 19.
 
It's going to be a regional leisure destination so it will attract people from across the region.
Not sure what the definition of region is.
If we include both Hartlepool and Darlo, the catchment is over 600,000 people. I’m no expert on leisure demographics, but I’m optimistic there will be sufficient demand.

I honestly don't see it. Where are they going to park? Public transport is useless after 9:00pm. These need to be 7 day operations and I just can't see it being successful midweek for 8 months of the year.

Zetland or Captain Cook multi-stories? Just my guess as I’m from North Yorks, not Boro,
 
A jobs a job
Clearly you don't know anything about a zero hours contract.

No regular pay.
No regular hours.
No workplace pension.
No redundancy rights.
Always need to be on call.
Uncertain social life and difficulty in balancing work and life.
Some zero hours contracts may penalise you from a second job by putting a exclusivity clause in your contract.

Yeah but a jobs a job isn't it?

There is a multi story car park on the corner of the square.
