Pubs, Bars and Nightclubs

Front of House

Publican:

Have you ever dreamed of owning and running your own pub / bar? Imagine creating your own world where customers flock to soak up the atmosphere and your food and drink. But a successful dream needs the reality of a good investment plan, clever advertising and promotions to target the right staff and customers.

Pub / Bar Manager:

This is the pub owner’s right hand person, looking after day-to-day running of the premises, such as opening and locking up, taking deliveries and keeping an eye on costs as well as operational duties. Knowledge of licensing laws is essential to avoid going straight to jail without passing ‘Go’ or collecting £200! More info...

Bar Person:

It’s good to be lively, sociable and alert if you work behind the bar. Keep it clean and well stocked and you’ll be busy at the bar and busy at the till! More info...

Back of House

Chef:

This is a wonderful opportunity for those who like variety, as a Pub Chef cooks bar snacks, full meals, creates home-made dishes and invents a new ‘special’ every day. In addition, there are supplies to be ordered, menus planned, staff to be trained and health and safety issues to be monitored. More info...

Kitchen Assistant:

Are you house proud? Your skills could be used to your advantage because as a Kitchen Assistant very high standards of cleanliness, hygiene and presentation are required when assisting the chef in the preparation of snacks and meals. More info...

Cellar Manager:

The good reputation of the pub could depend on you. Casks, kegs, bottles and cans need to be stored at the right temperature to give absolute satisfaction to the drinker. This may involve the handling of hazardous substances and electrical equipment. Challenging but rewarding.

Area Operations Manager:

If handling one pub / bar isn’t challenging enough for you, how about looking after several in the area? You need to oversee the smooth running of all of those essential behind-the-scenes jobs, like sales, costs, pricing, menus and health and safety, whilst dreaming up promotional events and training programmes.
