Department: Hospitality Location: Medlock Square
Description
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 Restaurant Supervisor, you’ll play a key role in the day-to-day running of the restaurant, supporting the management team to deliver smooth, high-quality service across all service periods.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll lead by example on the floor — coordinating the team, supporting service flow, and ensuring every guest has a great experience.
You’ll act as the link between the front-of-house team and management, helping to maintain standards, support team performance, and keep operations running efficiently in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
You will be responsible for:
Service & Guest Experience Support the delivery of a consistently high-quality guest experience across all service periods while acting as a visible and hands-on presence on the restaurant floor. Lead and support the front-of-house team during service, ensuring guests receive warm, professional, and efficient hospitality at all times. Handle guest queries, requests, and feedback confidently while maintaining high standards of presentation, atmosphere, and service delivery throughout the venue.
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.

Work closely with kitchen and bar teams to ensure efficient communication and smooth delivery of food and beverage service.
