The Reform Club is one of the oldest, and most prestigious, Private Members’ clubs in London and an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Part-Time (25 hours per week, from 6pm to 11pm, Monday to Friday) Food and Beverage (F&B) assistant to join this historic and iconic organisation.

The Reform Club was founded in 1836, in Pall Mall, in the centre of what is often called London’s Clubland. The founders commissioned a leading architect of the day, Charles Barry, to build an imposing and palatial clubhouse. It is as splendid today as when it opened in 1841.

The F&B Assistant role comes with:

  • Competitive basic salary of up to £16,900 per year, plus bonus and tronc, for 25 hours per week;
  • Employer Funded Health Cash Plan;
  • Employee Assistance Programme;
  • Generous holiday allowance increasing with length of service;
  • Pension scheme with generous employer contributions;
  • Season Ticket loan;
  • Meals on duty;
  • Free uniform and laundry thereof
  • Occupational health service.
  • Amazing training and development opportunities via extremely experienced, highly qualified managers as well as a generous budget for external and statutory training;
  • Enhanced family (maternity; parternity/ new parent; shared parental etc) leave and pay;
  • Life Insurance

The Role

The F&B Assistants are responsible for food and beverage service in the Club’s two dining spaces; the Coffee Room and the Strangers Room, as well as the Saloon and Hansard Bars, Gallery and Garden. The role holder will work as part of the wider hospitality team to deliver exceptional service to our Members and their guests. This part-time role will be required to work evening shifts (from 6 pm to 11 pm; 25 hours per week) to cover dinner service, but there will be opportunities to work extra hours in the morning or evening to cover absent colleagues, as well as working on our private events, which can take place 7 days a week.

Requirements for the role:

To succeed, you’ll need to be able to work seamlessly with a range of other departments as well as your colleagues and communicate effectively with Members, so teamwork and a fluent level of English are key. This is a role that involves a lot of time on your feet and may involve carrying heavy trays or pushing a heavy trolley (of desserts or cheese), so would be best suited to someone physically fit and reasonably strong. Ideally, you will also have:

  • Excellent communication skills and a good level of spoken and written English.
  • A positive, friendly and helpful attitude and demeanour
  • The ability and desire to provide exceptionally high levels of customer service to create exceptional experiences.
  • Excellent grooming and presentation standards.
  • Flexibility to respond to a range of different work situations
  • Previous experience in a similar position and organisation.
  • Knowledge of Food Hygiene regulations

This is an exciting role for a talented individual who is looking for experience working in one of the most prestigious venues in London and is keen to be part of a committed and stable team.

In line with the requirements of the Immigration Act 2016, all applicants must be eligible to live and work in the UK.

I come from a hotel background, so the work is similar, but the atmosphere is far more pleasant and the Members really take care of the staff. The ALC also shows great support for staff. I recently attended an event with staff from other Clubs in the same role as me and we got to enjoy a tour of two other Clubs which were undergoing some work. It was really interesting and it was great to meet people in similar roles. We now have a network group we can contact each other for help with suppliers and so on.
