Describing the role in a LinkedIn vacancy post, the restaurant said: “This is an exciting and unique opportunity for an individual who has a good knowledge for wine and a love of cheese. This is a full-time role, working four days a week at our restaurant in Manchester City Centre.
“The role will require a high level of customer service and attention to detail, experience and knowledge of wine service and a genuine passion and enthusiasm for hospitality at its best.
“WSET knowledge is preferred but not essential. Salary from £24,000 (dependent on experience) plus service charge.” Translation for anyone confused: WSET is the Wine and Spirit Education Trust.
WOOD and Homage sit within the thriving hub of Jack Rosenthal Street, part of the First Street regeneration area which includes other businesses such as HOME and Bunny Jacksons, with easy access to Oxford Road and Deansgate.
