Hospitality jobs in Birmingham

Birmingham hires across a fast-growing scene — from fine-dining and Michelin-recognised kitchens to independent restaurants, bars and hotels. Roles span chefs and kitchen porters, bar and waiting staff, baristas, hotel reception and housekeeping, plus supervisor and management positions.

Pay varies by role. Hourly bar and waiting positions typically start around the National Living Wage with tips on top, while chefs, supervisors and managers are salaried and earn more with experience. The city’s fine-dining rooms can pay a premium for skilled kitchen staff. Wages appear on a listing where the employer provides them.

Brindleyplace and the city centre concentrate canalside bars, restaurants and hotels, while Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter drive the independent scene and the Balti Triangle remains a dining destination. The map on this page shows where roles are currently open.

Yes. Birmingham's restaurants, bars and hotels hire part-time and flexible staff throughout the year, and its large convention and events trade creates seasonal peaks around major shows at the NEC and ICC.
