The city’s night time economy adviser to Mayor Andy Burnham has moved to highlight a wealth of well-paid jobs in the hospitality sector for students ahead of the summer break. Sacha Lord is keen to get new blood into the industry in the wake of a ‘staffing drought’ in kitchens and bars all over Manchester.
"The opportunities in the hospitality sector are huge at the moment, whether that's for front of house roles, chefs, bartenders, kitchen porters, promoters, or assistant managers,” he said. "I know many people who say working behind the bar was the best job they've ever had, and there are huge opportunities right now for young people to pocket some extra money and have fun over the summer season.
“These jobs won't just give them valuable experience when they choose to move into full time employment, but the social experiences which we all know have been massively missed in the past two years.” The Parklife and Warehouse Project boss has flagged a host of current vacancies in Manchester, all of which are paying above the living wage.
