About the Role
At Hotel Du Vin Cambridge, we believe great minds—and drinks—come together.
If you know your way around a bar, have an eye for wine (pinot vs. chardonnay? Obvs.), and can craft a killer martini, this is your chance to turn what you love into a thriving career for life.
We offer so much more than the average hotel bar: unmatched knowledge, wit, and an unparalleled drinking experience—whether it’s a post-work nash, a pre-night-out cocktail, or part of our full Food & Beverage offering.
We’re not just about servicing drinks—we create unforgettable memories. And here, that could be your springboard to a Bar Manager role—we encourage progression from the ground up.
Key Responsibilities
- Create craft cocktails and drinks with precision and flair
- Build expert wine knowledge and recommend pairings
- Master bar menu operations—timely service, couple counts, and upselling
- Engage with guests with charisma and hospitality
- Work closely with kitchens, sommeliers, and management to elevate the dining experience
- Uphold ** Hotel Du Vin standards** of speed, accuracy, and quality
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
