Description

Medlock Square marks a bold new chapter in the evolution of the Etihad Campus — a vibrant, year‑round destination for culture, leisure and entertainment, set alongside two global icons: the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City Football Club, and the landmark Co‑op Live arena.

Named after the River Medlock that runs beneath the site, the development celebrates Manchester’s industrial heritage while shaping its next era of city‑defining experiences. Manchester is known worldwide for its sport, music and entertainment — and Medlock Square will build on that legacy, creating a landmark home for exceptional shared moments and elevating the city’s position as one of Europe’s most dynamic, fast‑growing destinations.

At the heart of this new district will be an extraordinary food and beverage offer: from relaxed coffee houses and all‑day dining to flagship restaurants and premium culinary experiences. Designed to serve both everyday visitors and major event audiences, Medlock Square will deliver high‑quality hospitality all week long and across the events calendar.

About the role

We seek dynamic, guest‑obsessed operators who can build teams, lead from the front, and deliver service that matches the scale and ambition of Medlock Square. You’ll play a vital role in creating welcoming, memorable spaces for everyday guests and major event visitors alike.

As Head Bartender, you will lead the bar operation within a premium, high-energy hospitality environment, delivering exceptional drinks, service, and guest experience.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you will set the tone behind the bar, ensuring quality, consistency, and pace across all service periods. You will be responsible for maintaining high standards in drink execution, presentation, and guest interaction, while supporting the development and performance of the bar team.

Working across both event and non-event days, you will play a key role in delivering a distinctive and memorable guest experience, contributing to the overall success of the venue.

In this role you will:

Lead bar service, ensuring high-quality drinks, consistency, and premium service standards
Support and develop bartenders, creating a confident, skilled, and high-performing team
Deliver cocktails, beverages, and bar service in line with concept and brand standards
Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organisation, and bar setup at all times
Support stock control, ordering, and minimise waste
Work closely with the floor team to deliver seamless, high-touch guest experiences
Contribute to revenue growth through product knowledge, upselling, and service excellence

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

Essential

Proven experience as a Head Bartender, Senior Bartender, or Bar Supervisor in a premium or high-volume environment
Strong cocktail knowledge and experience delivering high-quality drinks consistently
