Work Outside the Box

Top 10 most attractive places to work in Cardiff and South Wales

Wales Millennium Centre
Situated on Cardiff Bay waterfront, WMC has one of the most attractive and unusual exteriors this side of Europe. Prepare to be wowed by this vast modern building on your way in to work each day.

Millennium Stadium
Crowds cheering, cameras flashing, national pride….oh, and world-class sport. Watch the game from box height as you serve up champagne, or from pitch-level as a steward.

University of Wales (at Various Locations)
There are always plenty of job opportunities around in places of Higher Education. Often dynamic environments in which to work, you could do a lot worse than the beautiful Portland building of Cardiff or the impressively modern facilities of UWIC, for example.

Cardiff Bay
Bars, restaurants, clubs, entertainment complexes, hotels, galleries, boat tours and many more attractions, Cardiff Bay is a bustling maritime development where everything is clean and new, making it a cutting-edge place in which to work.

The Arcades
Cardiff city centre plays host to a set of Victorian arcades that pack in quaint tea shops and high-end designer clothing stores, amongst other things. Looking like something from a Christmas card, the arcades are a genuinely attractive location in which to work.

Cardiff Indoor Market
This beautiful glass-covered Victorian building is the centre of local trade. Set up a stall that sells meat, fish, fruit ‘n’ veg, cheese, sweets, haberdashery, vinyls, fancy dress, hair-cuts, toys, jewellery, piercings, pets or read someone’s palm! You pick your own profession.

National Museum of Wales
A collection of History, Coal, Wool, Slate, Roman Legion and Waterfront museums that offer archaeology, fine art, exhibitions and events to the public. For all those culture vultures out there, any of these could be the perfect place to work.

St David’s Hall
The national concert hall of Wales is perhaps not as grand or modern as Wales Millennium Centre, however it still provides a similarly exciting and unique environment in which to work.

Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff Indoor
Arena, Cinemas and Local Theatres Let’s face it, if you’re looking for a career in events or entertainment management, there’s no better place to start than at your local events arena. And even if you’re not, cinemas and theatres can provide a fun insight into how things work behind the scenes.

Outside!
Wales has some of the most picturesque landscapes around.
Wherever your job takes you, make sure you get out of the city and about in the country, even if it’s only for a little while.
