Bartender

Job Introduction

Are you looking for a new Bartender role that gives you the chance to work in restaurants for one of the world’s most iconic department stores? Are you passionate about what you do and want the chance to meet and connect with customers from many different walks of life? Looking for a company that wants to help further your career in restaurants as well as provide you with an exciting, inspiring and fun place to work?  

 

If the answer to all of these questions is ‘yes’ then you’re just the kind of person we’re looking for! 

Role Responsibility

Our premium bars and restaurants are places in which our customers will be able to sit back, relax and watch the world go by. Whether they are stopping in for a quick coffee break or dining in for an extraordinary culinary experience our customers expect the best. With a range of menus our bar teams deliver impeccable service every time. As part of this team you will engage with customers and create a luxurious experience where our customers can enjoy a choice of the latest trend setting cocktails, fine wines, a glass of champagne, or one of a range of specially selected craft beers.

Our restaurants are open 7 days a week and you will be required to work weekends and late nights as part of a team rota however working within a retail store, more sociable hours can be expected. Our founder, Harry Gordon Selfridge, famously expressed that ‘a department store should be a social centre, not merely a place for shopping,’ and this could not be truer for Selfridges today.  

The Ideal Candidate

  • As one of our bartenders, you’ll be great with people, a natural conversationalist and will love sharing your passion for cocktails with our customers and colleagues alike.
  • You’ll have experience from a similar environment such as a high-end hotel bar, restaurant or private members club.
  • You’ll be well versed in the art of cocktail making and mixology, having built a solid reputation for flair, innovation and sophistication.
  • You’ll have genuine passion for this role, with a natural curiosity to discover and explore more about how to improve your services and to share with others (we are all about sharing our knowledge here!)
  • A positive, can-do attitude is what we love here, and you’ll always be prepared to go above and beyond.  

 

This job is a brilliant opportunity to surround yourself by a diverse team, with experience across an array of catering and hospitality disciplines from which you can learn a great deal. It doesn’t just stop in Restaurants either - we have lots of opportunities to get involved and collaborate on projects and in communities internally, so no two days will ever be the same. As Harry Gordon Selfridge once said, ‘There’s no fun like work!’ 

About the Company

Our creative spirit 

We are more than a shop. We are a social space where culture and commerce collide to release an energy that we call the Selfridges spirit. We are here to make our world brighter, and everyone is welcome. 

 

Our awards cabinet 

We’re not ones to brag, but since you asked...Selfridges has won the award for The World’s Best Department Store an unprecedented four times at the IGDS awards, with an additional award for the Best Sustainability Campaign.  

 

Our future 

Since 1909 we have been at the forefront of retail and today our stores in London, Manchester and Birmingham – alongside selfridges.com and the Selfridges App – continue to redefine the way we shop and socialise. As a Selfridges team member, you will learn what it takes to consistently drive innovation, success and amazing customer experiences. 

 

THE FUN STUFF
