Job description

We are looking for a friendly and charismatic Front of House Supervisor (daytime shifts!) to join the team at The Square. While this is a part time role, it's on the high end of part time, offering 25 hours per week, usually worked over approx. 4 shifts per week. Shifts will usually be day-based, with some early starts (6:15am!) so this role does lend itself well to early birds!

Some front of house / table waiting experience is required, and above all we're looking for a natural leader, ideally with some supervisory experience who is friendly, proactive and who'll be great with our customers and members!

Who are we? The Square is Bristol's premier private members' club for the media and arts industries. Comprising a sumptuous lower deck members' bar, fine dining restaurant, events space and stunning outdoor garden space this is a venue that delivers on many fronts! As Front of House Supervisor, you will be based in the restaurant space at the Square, supporting our small front of house team and taking great care to ensure our guests have a great experience, whether it's an la carte dinner service or a busy private event like a wedding!
