Waiter

About The Groucho Club Founded in 1985, The Groucho Club is one of London’s most renowned private members’ clubs, bringing together individuals from the creative industries including film, media, arts, publishing, and music. Located in Soho, the Club provides bars, restaurants, event spaces, and bedrooms exclusively for members and their guests. Discretion, individuality and a relaxed yet professional atmosphere sit at the heart of everything we do.

The Groucho Club is on the lookout for a rather fabulous Waiter or Waitress to join our Bar team, working across the Club’s bars. We’re after someone who glides through a room with confidence, warmth and just the right amount of sparkle. We’re looking for more than experience (though that’s essential, of course). We want that proactive energy, the kind that anticipates a raised eyebrow before it becomes a request. A bright, can-do spirit. A natural friendliness that makes every member feel not just welcomed, but genuinely delighted to be here.

Please apply only if you are able to commit to a full‑time role, requiring over 30 hours per week across 5 days.
