Reporting To: Back of House Manager

Description
Medlock Square marks a bold new chapter in the evolution of the Etihad Campus - a vibrant, year round destination for culture, leisure and entertainment, set alongside two global icons: the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City Football Club, and the landmark Co op Live arena.

Named after the River Medlock that runs beneath the site, the development celebrates Manchester's industrial heritage while shaping its next era of city defining experiences. Manchester is known worldwide for its sport, music and entertainment - and Medlock Square will build on that legacy, creating a landmark home for exceptional shared moments and elevating the city's position as one of Europe's most dynamic, fast growing destinations.

At the heart of this new district will be an extraordinary food and beverage offer: from relaxed coffee houses and all day dining to flagship restaurants and premium culinary experiences. Designed to serve both everyday visitors and major event audiences, Medlock Square will deliver high quality hospitality all week long and across the events calendar.
