Wild IS Earth (WISE) – Bar Team Opportunities

Are you passionate about fermentation, wild flavours, and sustainable drink-making? Do you love crafting cocktails with foraged, seasonal, and fermented ingredients?

Wild IS Earth (WISE) is looking for creative and nature-driven bartenders to join our kombucha microbrewery in Kentish Town, London. As we approach our first anniversary in May, we’re expanding our team to bring our low-waste, fermentation-forward bar to life.

You’ll be part of a team developing bold, kombucha-based cocktails, using seasonal, foraged, and locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re a bartender, mixologist, forager, homebrewer, or fermentation enthusiast, this is an opportunity to experiment, innovate, and shape a unique drinks menu.

As a kombucha microbrewery, Wild IS Earth attracts customers who value organic, sustainable, and plant-based products. The space has deep community roots, it was originally a family-owned Italian patisserie for 36 years, and as the eldest daughter of that business, I want to bring this venture forward for the next generation. I’m looking for people who share my vision for a healthier, more sustainable future.    

Why Join WISE?

✔ Be part of a movement – Help redefine sustainable mixology with a fermentation-forward bar.

✔ Creative freedom – Experiment with wild syrups, kombucha infusions, shrubs, bitters, and fermented garnishes.

✔ Collaborative & experimental – Work alongside like-minded bartenders, chefs, and brewers.

✔ Flexible opportunities – Casual event shifts (£13 p/h) or a possible full-time role after May.

The Roles – Join Our Bar Team

Casual Events Bar Staff (£13 p/h, flexible hours, potential for growth)

• Join our events team for pop-ups, workshops, and private gatherings.
• First confirmed shift: Friday, March 28TH (5 PM – closing, serving up to 30 guests).
• Shifts will be scheduled monthly on an ad-hoc basis.

Possible Full-Time Bartender Role (Starting After May)

• Be part of our core bar team as we fully open.
• Help craft a seasonal, fermentation-inspired drinks menu.
• Experiment with foraged ingredients, kombucha cocktails, shrubs, infusions, and innovative flavour combinations.

Who We're Looking For

We’re looking for creative, sustainability-focused bartenders who love working with fermentation, wild ingredients, and experimental flavours. If you’ve worked in pop-up cocktail bars, developed wild syrups, brewed your own drinks, or led foraging trips, we’d love to hear from you!

Essential Skills & Experience:

✔ Cocktail Creation & Flavour Innovation – Confident in crafting drinks from scratch and balancing complex flavours.

✔ Fermentation Knowledge – Experience brewing kombucha, kefir, mead, beer, or natural wine is a plus.

✔ Foraging & Preservation – Comfortable working with wild ingredients, syrups, shrubs, infusions, and fermented garnishes.

✔ Sustainability-Focused – Passionate about low-waste cocktail methods and creative upcycling of ingredients.

✔ Bar & Event Experience – Comfortable managing a bar, working efficiently under pressure, and engaging with customers.

✔ Self-Motivated & Experimental – Excited to research, develop, and test new ideas for our evolving drinks programme.

✔ Reliability & Teamwork – Works well independently and as part of a small, innovative team.

✔ Availability for Event Shifts – Flexible scheduling, with shifts planned monthly.

✔ Meticulous Cleanliness & Organisation – Keeps the bar spotless and running smoothly.

📍 Location: Kentish Town, London
