Work With Us

The Role
This role will be ideal for someone who is passionate about customer service and able to deliver it in a way that is appropriate to our student audience. The role will require you to have a strong work ethic, as each of our outlets is busy and has its own unique challenges.
 
Our Food & Beverage (Bars) Team Member role will involve you working flexibly across different areas of our SUSU Food & Beverage service, meaning you will have the opportunity to be cross-trained and develop experience in different areas. We are currently looking specifically for student staff to work across:
•    The Stag’s (bar)
•    The Bridge (café bar)
•    Below Deck (event bar)
•    Redbrick Kitchen (food van)
 
You will work alongside our permanent, core staff and other student staff.
We offer flexible working opportunities with hours to suit you and your studies.
Weekly hours range between 8–16 on average (dependent on your availability).

Please indicate your availability for this date in your cover letter. If you anticipate any difficulties, you are welcome to outline these so they can be considered as part of the recruitment process.
