The Botanist Reading are hiring a Bartender

We're looking for Bartenders who love great hospitality, exceptional drinks and creating memorable experiences for guests.

At The Botanist Reading, we believe hospitality is about more than serving food and drinks. It's about creating moments people remember, building genuine connections and making every guest feel welcome from the moment they arrive.

As a Bartender, you'll be at the heart of that experience. Whether you're recommending a guest's next favourite cocktail, serving drinks during a busy Friday night or helping create the atmosphere that keeps people coming back, you'll bring energy, personality and confidence to every shift.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced hospitality environment, thrives on guest interaction and takes pride in delivering great service.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for people who are passionate about hospitality and enjoy making people feel welcome.

You'll ideally have experience as a Bartender, Cocktail Bartender, Bar Staff Team Member or within a customer-facing hospitality role. However, attitude, personality and a genuine passion for looking after guests are just as important as experience.

- 50% discount for you and up to 5 guests across our venues - Free meals on shift - Your birthday and the day after guaranteed off - Access to TRONC through TiPJAR - Wagestream financial wellbeing support and earned wage access - Education subsidies to support personal development - Confidential support through Hospitality Action - Comprehensive training and ongoing support
