Job description

Company Description

We are looking for charismatic Barback to be part of our team for The Hoxton, Holborn.

The Hoxton, Holborn was the second Hox to join the fam, taking over a Grade II-listed building that was once the factory of George Kent, a famed maker of gadgets and instruments (among them a knife sharpener/cleaner now sitting in the Science Museum, no less).

After Kent, BT moved in, and now this former telephone exchange is home to 220 bedrooms and the Apartment, plus our foodie hotspot Rondo. All a stone's throw from the capital's most famous shopping and entertainment districts.

Rondo is our neighbourhood restaurant in middle-town Holborn with a focus on seasonal local British dishes, unsung ingredients and great wine. Headed up by chef Tristan Downes; this is the place you wish you had at the end of your street.
