BAR STAFF/MIXOLOGIST

Are you a creative person with a passion for mixology? In this position, you will work closely alongside our Front of House manager Robin (ex bar manager at Thyme England & Daylesford) who has over 10 years’ experience. It will provide an opportunity to learn how to make exciting, bespoke cocktails with unique ingredients. We are looking for a new member to join our small, but vibrant bar team. A big part of this role will require someone who has a desire to understand and learn more about the technique of cocktail making. Our bar team would be completed by an enthusiastic, truly cocktail crazy person. The opportunity will allow you to hone your skills in a wide variety of drink making, syrup making as well as alcohol infusing techniques with the occasional opportunity to forage herbs from local allotments!

Experienced & junior bar staff are equally welcome: successful applicants will be diligent, passionate, kind and committed to doing their best work with a drive to continue learning or sharing their skills.

Working week would consist of 48 hours per week with the occasional (quieter) shift off where appropriate. Due to Smiths having huge potential to be a thriving destination there will require some flexibility on the above, but work life-balance is paramount to us.

Necessaries & Perks:

  • 21-24K annual remuneration

  • Share of 10% service charge

  • Company pension

  • 28 days paid annual holiday
