Company: JKS Restaurants
Apply for the Junior Sommelier
Location: London
Job Description:

Experience – Previous experience as a Junior Sommelier within a quality restaurant. Knowledge working with Spanish wine is preferred, but not essential.

From the founders of the Michelin-starred Sabor, Chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho, in partnership with JKS Restaurants, is seeking a Junior Sommelier to be part of Legado.

We’re looking for an experienced Junior Sommelier who shares our enthusiasm, dedication, and passion for great food and wine, vibrant hospitality, and delivering a unique culinary experience.

The Location

Legado opened its doors in August 2025 in the heart of Shoreditch, with a clear purpose: to celebrate the breadth and depth of Spain’s regional cooking. A sister restaurant to Sabor, Legado builds on that foundation while carving out its own identity – exploring lesser-known dishes and traditions from across Spain, guided by seasonality, whole-animal butchery and a deep respect for craft and provenance. From the Taberna – Legado’s tapas and pintxos bar – to the main dining room, the restaurant is defined by thoughtful cooking, precise technique and warm, considered hospitality.

The Role

As Junior Sommelier, you will be responsible for delivering the highest levels of service and an exceptional guest experience within the restaurant and private dining rooms. You will recommend and sell wines to guests both to complement their tastes and to pair with their menu choices.

Qualifications

  • An engaging and personable nature with a professional and confident communication style;
  • A passion for hospitality and delivering an exceptional guest experience;
  • The ability to be responsible for a section and be an active part of the Front of House team;
  • Prior experience as a Junior Sommelier within a quality restaurant, ideally with an interest in Spanish wines;
  • An excellent knowledge of food and beverage;
  • The eagerness to continually learn and develop your career within hospitality;
  • A good level of PC literacy (Microsoft Office)
