About the Role
We’re looking for a Restaurant Supervisor to join our talented team at The Parakeet.
Located in the heart of Kentish Town, The Parakeet is an independent public house and dining room. In the front, a lively local pub atmosphere. In the back, an award-winning dining room serving Basque-inspired small plates cooked over coal and fire.
Led by chef Ben Allen, our kitchen has received critical acclaim from The Times, The Evening Standard and more.
But don’t just take our word for it:
- Top 100 restaurants in London
- Top 50 Gastropubs
- The Times | Giles Coren review
- The Evening Standard review
As Restaurant Supervisor, you’ll play a key role in delivering brilliant service in our dining room. Working alongside the Restaurant Manager and wider management team, you’ll help lead the floor during service, support and develop the front-of-house team, and make sure every guest receives warm, knowledgeable and attentive hospitality.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced waiter or supervisor looking to develop their leadership skills and take the next step in their hospitality career.
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.
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.

- Build your knowledge of our food, wine and drinks offering and share this with the team and our guests

- Support opening, closing and day-to-day restaurant procedures
- Help maintain consistently high standards across the dining room
What we’re looking for
- Experience working in a high-quality, busy restaurant environment
