📢 RECRUITMENT DRIVE: Freelance Stocktakers (Licensed Trade Specialists)

Moorlands Pub Company Limited is expanding its professional services division and is immediately seeking experienced Freelance Stocktakers with a proven background in the licensed trade.

As we launch our dedicated stocktaking arm, we need precision, speed, and industry knowledge. If you understand the unique challenges of pub and bar inventory—from draft lines and cellar temperatures to back-bar spirits and dry goods—we want to hear from you.

🎯 THE ROLE
You will be responsible for conducting accurate, efficient, and compliant stocktakes for pubs, bars, and licensed venues across the region. Your work ensures our clients maintain optimal inventory levels, reduce waste, and maximize profitability.

📋 KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Comprehensive Inventory Counting: Accurately count and record all stock levels, including spirits, wines, beers, ciders, soft drinks, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Draft Line & Cellar Management: Measure remaining volumes in kegs, barrels, and casks using appropriate gauging equipment; assess cellar conditions and temperature logs.
Back-Bar & Dry Store Audits: Conduct detailed counts of bottled stock, mixers, garnishes, and dry goods stored in back-bars and storage areas.
Waste & Spillage Analysis: Identify and record instances of spillage, breakage, or wastage, providing context for variance reports.
Variance Reporting: Compare physical stock against theoretical usage (POS data) to highlight discrepancies and potential shrinkage issues.
Data Entry & Digital Reporting: Input data accurately into our proprietary stock management software or digital tablets in real-time.
Compliance Checks: Ensure stock storage adheres to health and safety regulations and licensing requirements.
Client Liaison: Communicate findings professionally to venue managers, highlighting urgent reorder needs or critical stock issues.
Equipment Maintenance: Ensure all measuring tools (gauges, scales, scanners) are calibrated and maintained during shifts.

👤 WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Licensed Trade Experience: Essential. You must have prior experience working in a pub, bar, or hotel environment.
Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with standard drink measures, keg types, bottle sizes, and cellar management.
Numeracy Skills: High attention to detail with strong mathematical abilities for rapid calculation.
Physical Stamina: Ability to lift heavy crates, climb ladders, and work in cellars or confined spaces.
Reliability: Punctual, self-motivated, and able to work independently, often during late-night or early-morning shifts.
Tech Savvy: Comfortable using handheld devices, tablets, and stock management apps.

💼 WORKING ARRANGEMENTS

Freelance/Contract Basis: Work on a per-job or per-week basis.
Flexible Hours: Shifts often occur outside standard trading hours (late nights/early mornings) to minimize disruption to venue operations.

Regional Coverage: Opportunities available across The United Kingdom.

🍺 SAVE OUR PUBS – SAVE OUR COMMUNITIES 🍺

Across Britain, community pubs are disappearing at an alarming rate — with almost TWO pubs a day closing so far in 2026.
When a pub closes, communities lose far more than just a place to eat or drink. We lose local jobs, meeting places, support networks, history, and the heart of our towns and villages.

That’s why we’re launching a community-led campaign to help save threatened rural and community pubs before they are lost forever.

Our mission is to:
🏡 Protect community pubs from closure
🤝 Create inclusive spaces for everyone
💼 Support local jobs and apprenticeships
📚 Provide hospitality training opportunities
❤️ Reinvest back into local communities

We believe pubs should once again become thriving community hubs — places where people connect, celebrate, support one another, and belong.

This is about preserving local heritage, strengthening communities, and building a sustainable future for the next generation.

We need your support.

Please join the campaign, donate if you can, and share this post to help us spread the word.

Together, we can save our pubs. 🍻

🛡️ Your Safety Matters at Moorlands Pub Company 🛡️

At Moorlands Pub Company, we are committed to ensuring that our venues are safe, welcoming, and inclusive spaces for everyone.

That is why we proudly support both the "Ask for Angela" and "Ask for Clive" campaigns.

💜 Ask for Angela is a nationally recognised safety initiative designed to help anyone who feels unsafe, vulnerable, threatened, harassed, or uncomfortable whilst on a date or during a social occasion. By discreetly asking a member of staff for "Angela", our team will understand that you need assistance and will help you leave the situation safely or provide support as required.

💙 Ask for Clive is a similar initiative aimed at supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community who may feel vulnerable, unsafe, threatened, or at risk whilst socialising. By asking for "Clive", you can discreetly alert our team that you require assistance, and we will act appropriately to ensure your safety and wellbeing.

Our staff receive guidance on how to respond sensitively and discreetly to anyone seeking help through these schemes.
More importantly, you do not need to use either phrase to ask for help. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, intimidated, threatened, or simply need support whilst visiting one of our venues, please speak to a member of staff in confidence. We will always do our best to assist you.

A pub should be a place where people come together, make memories, and enjoy themselves—not somewhere where they feel vulnerable or alone.

Together, we can help make our communities safer, kinder, and more inclusive for everyone.

❤️ Everyone Welcome
🧡 Everyone Respected
💛 Everyone Included
💚 Everyone Safe

#MoorlandsPubCompany #AskForAngela #AskForClive #SafeSpaces #CommunityMatters #EveryoneWelcome #PubSafety #InclusionForAll

🌈 Happy Pride Month from all of us here at Moorlands Pub Company 🌈

At Moorlands Pub Company, we believe that everyone deserves to feel welcome, respected, valued, and included.
Our venues are proud to be SAFE SPACES where people can be themselves without fear of judgement, discrimination, or exclusion. Regardless of your sexuality, gender identity, background, or personal circumstances, you will always find a warm welcome through our doors.

Pride Month is a celebration of diversity, acceptance, and community, but these are values that we strive to uphold every day of the year.

We also recognise that life isn't always easy. Sometimes people simply need someone to listen. Our teams are always happy to offer a friendly ear, a shoulder to lean on, or some supportive advice where we can. And if we can't provide the help you need ourselves, we'll do our best to point you in the direction of organisations and services that can.

If you ever feel uncomfortable, unsafe, intimidated, or threatened in any way whilst visiting one of our venues, please speak to a member of staff in confidence. Your wellbeing and safety are important to us, and we will always do our best to ensure that everyone can enjoy our venues in a safe and welcoming environment.

No one should ever feel alone, left out, or unsupported.

This Pride Month, and every month, we stand for inclusion, kindness, respect, and community.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
