Assistant Bar & Catering Manager

You will work closely with the Bar & Catering Manager ensuring the smooth running of our food and drink service. Implementing and supporting the processes put in place by the Bar & Catering Manager and SMT. You will work with the team to ensure that food hygiene processes are followed and that the bar and kitchen areas are kept spotlessly clean. You will be responsible for managing the bar and catering team, recruiting and training the team.

You will work alongside the Bar & Catering Manager managing stock, ensuring stock is rotated and accounted for correctly and accurately. You will be responsible for cashing-up, and for ensuring that we're selling and serving alcohol in line with the law, the conditions of our licence and general best practice.

We're looking for people who love food and drink, and have a passion for good customer service and a high level of hospitality. You'll need to be able and willing to undertake food hygiene training that we'll provide and to ensure that our kitchen and bar areas are rigorously managed and cleaned in line with it. Working with our Chef and Bar & Catering Manager, you will help us grow our event catering and pop up options in addition to the permanent caf and bar.

You'll need to have some experience of supervising staff, and you'll need an eye for detail and an understanding that consistency is key - whether it's a cheese plate or a cocktail, we need you to make sure it's prepared to the same size, style and standard every time.

You'll need to be comfortable using a computer to a basic level to read and write emails, cash up and place orders - and because of that you'll also need to be reasonably good with reading, writing and working with numbers: enough to be able to add up and work out how much of something you'll need to order.
