Bar & Waiting Team Member

Do you love working with people and want a role where every shift presents new challenges and friendly faces? Greene King is seeking a Bar & Waiting Team Member to join its Merseyside location in a part-time permanent role. If you’re upbeat, customer-hearted and ready to deliver outstanding service in both bar and dining areas, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Job Description

As a Bar & Waiting Team Member at Greene King in Merseyside, you will play a key role in making each guest’s visit special—from the drink they order to the service they receive in our pub and carvery setting. You’ll work both behind the bar and in the dining area, greeting customers, recommending drinks, serving food, and maintaining cleanliness and safety. Days and evenings may vary, often including weekends when the pub is busy.

Responsibilities include preparing and serving drinks per standard, helping ensure the bar and dining spaces are safe, clean and legal, attending to customers’ needs during service, and being proactive in spotting and resolving small issues before they impact the guest experience. You’ll join a team committed to warmth, efficiency, teamwork, and attention to detail in every pour, every plate and every smile.

Greene King offers more than just your hourly pay. You’ll benefit from a package that includes pension contributions, discounts for yourself and family/friends at Greene King Inns and hotels, and numerous retail discounts. In addition, you’ll be part of career-development opportunities: training, internal progression and support to build your skills.

Eligibility & How to Apply

To succeed in this role, you should bring strong customer service skills, an energetic and positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. Prior experience behind a bar or in waiting is helpful but not essential. What matters most is your desire to deliver a warm welcome, your ability to work well under pressure, and your teamwork mindset.

Here are the steps to apply and how to ensure you’re considered:

1. Prepare your CV – Highlight any previous hospitality or service-role experience, even informal roles (e.g. serving, bar work, customer assistance).
2. Check your availability – Part-time shifts will include evenings & weekends; make sure your schedule allows flexibility.
