• Christmas week off (we close for about a week, reopening for the Square's iconic annual New Year's Eve party)
• Ongoing training and support

What you’ll be doing as Bar Supervisor:

• Supervising our decadent members’ and events bar, and acting as duty manager when the Bar Manager’s off, and working alongside them on certain shifts also
• Leading by example - crafting drinks, chatting with guests and members, and keeping the vibe spot on
• Training and supporting our small but mighty bar team
• Playing your part in keeping to GP targets, service standards, and keeping presentation on point
• Creating a warm, engaging, and distinctly Square guest experience - from BBC presenters to wedding guests, we want our customers leaving with a smile!
