Full job description

Gin and Juice is our flagship gin-led cocktail bar in Cardiff's Castle Arcade, with a serious gin range, considered cocktails and a polished but lively feel. A few doors away, its sister bar Rum and Fizz brings the same standards with a rum-led list and a livelier late feel. One Assistant Manager runs across both, the constant that keeps two busy bars moving as one team.

Location: Gin & Juice and Rum & Fizz, Castle Arcade, Cardiff, CF10 1BU

Pay: £15-16 per hour, your choice of a flexible zero-hours arrangement or an annual salary based on a 45-hour week

Hours: 40-45 hours a week, including Friday and Saturday nights

Experience: Previous bar supervisory or management experience required

What you’ll be doing

  • Running shifts end to end, opening, service and close, leading from the front
  • Floating between Gin & Juice and Rum & Fizz on Friday and Saturday nights to keep both services smooth
  • Maintaining stock and placing orders so neither bar ever runs dry
  • Working closely with the General Manager to keep standards high at all times
  • Looking after guests personally and resolving issues on the spot
  • General office hours during the week: admin, rotas and the running of the business behind the bar

Who we’re after

A steady, visible leader who loves the floor more than the office but handles both. You set the tone for two teams, stay calm when both rooms are full and take real ownership of standards, stock and service. Experience running busy bars is essential.
