Love a great restaurant, know your cocktails and enjoy leading a brilliant service? This could be the role for you.
We’re looking for a Restaurant & Bar Supervisor to join the team at Bishopstrow – someone who can confidently lead a restaurant service, jump behind the bar when needed and help us create the kind of experience guests remember.

- Support and train the team to improve their own bar and service knowledge

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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Previous experience supervising or leading a shift
- Great guest service skills
- Confidence working across both the restaurant and bar
- A positive, hands-on approach
