We are 1 The Island Quarter.

1 The Island Quarter is an ambitious and exciting real estate development of a 36 acre freehold site in the heart of Nottingham, a development that has been ongoing since 2016 when the land was acquired.

We are a new & dynamic hospitality team charged with creating 1 The Island Quarter to be a sustainable business, transforming it into a cultural hub, a new and exciting destination for experiencing food, arts, music, sporting events and other community interests.  The first phase consists of 2 restaurants - Binks Yard and Cleaver & Wake, an outside live events space with a bandstand and an internal venue for private functions, a rooftop terrace as well as a florist.

What we do at 1 The Island Quarter is much more than be just a venue.  Our guest-centric team love what they do, taking pride in always delivering value and consistency, they are actively generous in going the extra mile to create great memories for our guests, aiming to deliver genuine, exceptional service that is inclusive, authentic and fun.

Our maintenance operatives play a vital role at The Island Quarter.   We take great pride with the environment in which we operate, and it is the Maintenance Operatives' responsibility to ensure that all equipment is fully functioning, the building is safe and up to H&S standards as well as ensuring the safety of our guests and colleagues at the forefront of everything that they do.

As it's a new building you will be escalating any issues that are under warranty to relevant contractors, liaising with suppliers, and becoming au fait with the  building's systems.  Duties to include elementary joinery, painting and general odd jobs.

Friendly and approachable, you'll have previous experience working in a maintenance role with a good understanding of building services including heating, hot and cold-water distribution, ventilation, electrical distribution and plumbing.  You will understand the importance of maintaining high standards as well as working to statutory requirements and compliance.  Keeping our guest journey to the highest standard is something you strive for, nothing is too much trouble and you're always happy to help the wider team.

Benefits Of Working At The Island Quarter

We’re offering much more than a job.  Hospitality is a way of life.  We’re on a whirlwind adventure, working with our suppliers, partners and team to bring a new culinary experience to Nottingham – using fresh and exciting ingredients, mixology and flair, as well as a tailored guest journey. That’s a big deal.  But so are you.  That’s why we have a reward system that we know you’ll give the thumbs up to.  This includes:

• A culture where you’re valued, supported and inspired to be at your best
• Generous holiday package

• A heavily discounted gym membership with Virgin Active at Nottingham
• Discount at Cineworld, Showcase and Odeon cinemas
• Discounted travel using Tramslink
