Bartender
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
As a Bartender, you’ll deliver great drinks and friendly, efficient service in a fast-paced hospitality environment. You’ll work behind the bar preparing and serving beverages while creating a welcoming and enjoyable experience for every guest.
