Pub-licist wanted – must like drinking on the job
ASOUTHPORT pub has launched a search for the UK’s first ever ‘Pub-licist’ and is encouraging locals to apply for the coveted role – which will include drinking beer and catching up with friends.
The Waterfront Hungry Horse pub on Floral Hall Gardens, is advertising the dream job for pub goers and calling for a local spokesperson to represent the pub company in return for a £500 salary.
As well as drinking on the job, the Pub-licist will also be faced with responsibilities that will include tucking into pies, lasagne, and fish & chips, and attending entertainment events at their local pub, on top of playing the odd game of darts, karaoke or taking part in the pub quiz.
The Pub-licist will also be required to make a number of visits to their local, in order to provide feedback and recommendations to help make their pub the best in the country.
Each task must be reviewed thoroughly and key feedback provided to management, to help the pub stay ahead of competitors and retain its role as the hub of the community.
The winning candidate should know their cask from their craft, be a pro at pub quizzes and have a taste for the finest pubgrub.
Interested applicants should visit hungryhorse. co.uk/publicist before Tuesday, November 13 explaining why they’ve got what it takes to be Hungry Horse’s first Publicist.
Richard Witty, general manager at the Waterfront, said: “Nothing beats the atmosphere and camaraderie of a local pub – and it really is the guests who make it such a great place to be.
“We’re searching for a pub fanatic who just loves a trip to their local, to become our first ever Publicist and help us to become the best pub the community.
“So, if you fancy taking part in a pub quiz, sipping on a cold beer or tucking into traditional pub classics – all while getting paid to do so, then we want to hear from you. We’d love it if the UK’s first ever Publicist was from Southport!”
Applications are open until Tuesday, November 13 to apply or find out more, visit: hungryhorse. co.uk/publicist.
