The Sympathetic Ear, a gem of a bar and bottle shop in Brixton, is after a new manager to run the show.
Craft beer is our big thing, but if it’s small batch, interesting, and tastes good, we like that too. We have a mean gin selection and dabble in natural wines and ciders. We’ve got an ever-changing 10 lines of Beers, cider, and wine on draft plus a Hefty 4 fridges worth of drinks as well.
Must have:
Great taste and interest in beer.
We stock over 100 bottles of beer with fresh brews coming in every week. We want someone who’s super excited about ordering when the weekly beer lists come in. You'll have to know your Beers and breweries.
An organised noggin.
We deal with so many breweries and small-batch makers and, along with running an independent team, you’ll need know what’s coming and going throughout the week.
Top customer skills
We’ve got a rep. For our friendly staff and with so many regulars, you’ll get to know everyone quickly. You’ll need to be enthusiastic and helpful with advising customers on our range of drinks.
We are looking for someone who has previous management or assistant-management experience in a pub or bar - ideally within a craft beer environment. If you can programme a till and do some maths we are after you.

Benefits but not essential:
Social media experience (twitter, untapped, mail outs)
Events experience. We host a monthly meet-the-maker night with one of our many stocked breweries/producers as well as film nights, exhibitions and pop-up food nights. You’ll be in charge of organising and promoting these so confidence and enthusiasm are a big bonus.
This is a full time job split over Tuesday-Sunday so evening and weekend work is a given.
Salary dependent on experience. Position available from April. Interviews to be held as soon as possible.
Please send over your CV with a bit about yourself and your taste in beer.
