The Screen Machine are hiring!!!
Join the Screen Machine team as an Usher in Golspie
Would you like to help bring the cinematic experience to Golspie? If so, then you may be interested in this rare opportunity to join the Screen Machine team as an Usher.
Ushers assist our Operator during screening, which can be in the morning or afternoon as well as in the evening.
Screen Machine visits Golspie three to four times per year, for at least two days per visit, and the days of the week can vary. During the normal course of events, you will be made aware of a visit six weeks in advance.
Below is a full description of the ushering experience. Just to add - it is also fun!
Usher duties
