About the Role

As part of the Gradi Norwood bar team, you’ll prepare cocktails, wine, beer, spirits and other beverages while supporting the wider Front of House operation.

You’ll work across busy restaurant services, keep the bar organised and service-ready, and help create the welcoming Italian hospitality experience Gradi is known for.

This is a Casual position, with shifts offered based on operational requirements and your availability.

Strong Friday, Saturday and Sunday availability is important as we head into the busiest part of the hospitality year.

About You

We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running behind the bar.

You’ll ideally bring:

- Minimum 2 years’ professional bartending experience in a busy restaurant, cocktail bar or similar hospitality environment
- Strong cocktail preparation skills
- Good knowledge of spirits, wine and beer
- Confidence working independently during busy services




- Robust organisation and attention to detail
- Professional and engaging guest service
- Ability to remain calm and efficient under pressure
- Reliable and team-focused approach
- Availability across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, including evenings
- Current South Australian Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certification
