We’re looking for a Barback to join the team at Phonox.
Phonox is built around the music. A focused room. A serious crowd. Behind the bar, pace matters. As Barback, you keep the operation moving. You make sure the bartenders have what they need, when they need it. You’ll restock fridges, replenish ice, change kegs, manage glassware and keep the bar clean and organised. It’s high volume and physical work, especially at peak times. You’ll need to stay alert, work quickly and think ahead.
What You’ll Do
- Restock bottles, beer and ice throughout the shift
- Change kegs and manage bar deliveries
- Collect, wash and polish glassware
- Keep bar stations clean, organised and ready
- Support bartenders to maintain fast, smooth service
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- A relaxed dress code. No uniforms. Just bring your best self.
