Super flexible work with HS! Really cool events in amazing locations all around London so perfect for whatever area you live in! Events every day to book onto as well so if you want to maximise shifts you can. Really nice that you are given 25 towards a taxi home if you're shift ends at 23:30 or later!

Very enjoyable job - especially if you're working part time. Extra pay after midnight and a taxi home after 11:30 is pretty good! It's also a good social experience; i worked on billionaires row, Bishop's Avenue, North London, on my third shift which was a fun experience and i won't forget (ellie goulding was there) but overall a good and recommendable job for young people like myself :)

Bit of a shocker really - poor attitude towards staff and lack of professionalism, would avoid as staff or clientele. Routinely worked unpaid overtime for clients as breaks were ignored. Office staff were abrasive and inflexible when trying to resolve a recent issue (despite it being down to poor communication on their part by not answering emails or phone calls). Employees deserve to be treated with respect - not the case here. Won't work again.

Flexible events catering work at cool, interesting locations around London! Staff at the office as well as colleagues on shifts are very friendly, easy to work with and communicative. Nice meeting so many new people on shifts also and sometimes get nice food on shifts. One con though: shifts are physically demanding and breaks are largely the responsibility of the client company hosting the event and have sometimes been neglected as a result. This has been communicated to High Society office and hopefully there will be changes to this

I have been part of High Society's staff since 2018 and I couldn't be happier with the professionalism and quality of the company. High Society has a friendly and enthusiastic environment that makes shifts much nicer. The number of shifts available can vary due to the time of the year (certain periods are busier than others) but usually it's possible to find work. The possibility of choosing my own days and hours has been very helpful as I am a full-time student and therefore I need to have flexible hours. Additionally, this job gives you the possibility to visit amazing places in London and meet new people!

High Society is the best agency I have worked for, they treat their staff really well, the office is super organised and there are always lots of exciting events on to work at. I have seen so many amazing venues in London and even a few celebrities, no two jobs are ever the same! The other staff are always friendly and it is a pleasure to work with everyone. The flexibility means it is the perfect job to work alongside my studies.
