Cocktail Bartender - Covent Garden, London in City of Westminster

Have you got Seva? In Dishoom, we see every team member as valuable and important to ensuring the all-around brilliant experience for our guests. We are looking for talented and dedicated people to join us as a Cocktail Bartender.

As a Cocktail Bartender:

• You are obsessed about drink quality; despite the busy environment, you still create each drink to perfection.
• Make every coffee and cup of Chai with the same importance as the first one of the day.
• Greet our guests day or night with a smile and bar chat that makes them instantly feel welcomed.

Responsibilities & Requirements:

• Previous work experience as a Cocktail Bartender - at least 1 year minimum, in a high volume restaurant/bar environment, with knowledge of all of the classics.
• Ready to learn - we want to set you up for success in your first couple of months with us, and gradually get you to a place where you are transporting our guests to Bombay with your knowledge of our drinks and dishes.
• We will ensure you have an initial training period learning about Dishoom, our drinks and bar operation.
• 3 months of putting that into practice (non guest facing) in a high volume busy bar environment and perfecting your tipples.
• A desire to grow - we only promote our Shift Leaders, as well as Head and Deputy Bartenders from within.
• Our award-winning Babu (Manager) Masterclass programme supports our teams with the tools to be our future leaders.

We are proud to be recognised as one of the best places to work in Hospitality. Looking after people is at the core of what we do and we work hard to make life at Dishoom the best it can be. Since 2010, our restaurants have celebrated the Irani cafes and all of the food and drink of Bombay.

How we will support you:

• Financial: Free weekly wage advances and emergency cash. Access to our savings support & financial health planning tool. Up to 50% off when dining at Dishoom with friends and family. Enhanced family leave and pay, plus specific Dishoom-walle benefits for those growing little families.
• Mental & Physical: All Babus (Managers) are fully trained in mental health support & First Aid. Dedicated support from our confidential advice helpline - available to you or someone in your household - 24 hours of the year. On demand GP appointments, free counselling sessions and life coaching through our wellness app. Free fitness sessions every month (including yoga and spin classes).
• Socials: We are a growing company and love nothing more than bringing our teams (and families) together to celebrate everyone’s hard work across the year.

What to expect:

• Free team meals every shift, plus all the Chai you can drink!
• £18-19 per hour inclusive of tronc (based on the last 3-month's average). We pay on a monthly basis.
• A full-time role working across 5 days, Monday - Sunday availability required.
• A weekly changing rota provided at least 6 days in advance.
• We are an all-day dining Cafe, meaning our teams work a variety of daytime and evening shifts (not the usual always late nights!).
• Access to our award-winning training programmes and support. We focus on your development from day one and proudly promoted 211 Dishoomwalles last year!
• The usual number of days holiday a year - paid for at your usual rate. Our sites are closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and if you have children, we will provide one extra day to take them to their first day at school.
• No uniforms here - smart casual and comfortable is key, and of course trainers are fine.
