This expansion aims to bring a wine bar atmosphere featuring small plates, cozy lighting, local regulars, and a laid-back yet refined environment.

The client is in search of a confident, service-oriented leader who has a passion for food, wine, and hospitality. This person should be skilled at creating a memorable experience that keeps guests coming back.

The chosen candidate will be the face of the evening service, overseeing the floor, managing shifts, and fostering a team culture based on genuine hospitality and care. While the senior team will offer support as the service gets underway, the candidate will be responsible for running the shift, leading pre-shift briefings, ensuring the team is well-supported, and guaranteeing that every guest leaves feeling valued and attended to.

We are looking for someone who will excel in this role if they:

• Have prior experience managing shifts and closing a venue
• Are comfortable leading on the floor and enjoy connecting with regular guests
• Have a passion for wine, food, and delivering exceptional guest experiences
• Are eager to advance their management career with guidance and support
• Thrive in a small, tight-knit team environment
• Appreciate the importance of both daytime and evening services, understanding that it's all part of one unified business.

What's on the cards?

• 40-42 hours per week, working 5 evenings
• (Tuesday-Saturday schedule, early nights)
• A growing company with a strong team culture and opportunities for career development
• Staff meals, drinks, and discounts for group dining
• An extra day of holiday for each year of service (up to 5 years)
