The Island Quarter
Hospitality workers looking for a new position in Nottingham are being given the chance to take part in a special recruitment event taking place on 22 July – hosted by the largest regeneration project within the UK, The Island Quarter.
During the day, there will be a range of different roles and positions available across the project’s two new venues, Binks Yard which will feature craft beer, cocktails, grills and a wood-fired pizza oven, and finer dining restaurant, Cleaver & Wake, which will showcase the very best British core ingredients. The event will take place from 9.00am – 4.00pm over the course of three two-hour sessions and will be held at Binks Yard.
Launching this summer, Binks Yard and Cleaver & Wake mark the first phase of the new canal-side destination. Once open, the two venues will have brought more than 80 new hospitality jobs to the city.
During the event, attendees will get the opportunity to find out more about the exciting new launches and hear talks from key members of the Binks Yard and Cleaver & Wake teams, including chef patron, Laurence Henry. There will also be a tour of the new space, a complimentary cocktail and a selection of small bites from the Binks Yard menu on offer, as well as a goodie bag to take home.
Emma Pearson, HR Business Partner for The Island Quarter, said: “The upcoming Binks Yard and Cleaver & Wake launches mark a really exciting new chapter for Nottingham, and we’re inviting the region’s hospitality workers to be a part of that. We have positions available from front of house to back of house at both venues, meaning there are lots of opportunities for those who might be looking for a change.
“It’s set to be a great day with lots to see and do including the chance to be the first people to get a sneak peek of the new venue before it opens to the public later this summer.
“If you’re currently working in hospitality or on the hunt for a career change, I’d urge you to register your interest quickly, as all spaces for the event are first come, first served. Not all roles require previous experience, but we do ask that all attendees bring along a copy of their most recent CV.”
