Birmingham. A City that has always known how to make things: with its hands, with care, with an unmistakable sense of identity. A City that doesn't follow, that does things its own way. Next month, Sticks'n'Sushi is coming to Birmingham - our first restaurant in the Midlands, opening in the Paradise development on Chamberlain Square.

Sticks’n’Sushi is as unique as the city we're coming to. We serve high-quality, fresh food based on a unique combination of classic and creative sushi along with sticks from the grill, created by our 'Strange Fish'.

Fish are like us: we all swim together. But Strange Fish are bold, curious individuals who fit right in here. Those who are comfortable just being themselves, a little different perhaps. You will have walked a similar path before, but your spirit is ready for a role on our bar, where many things are happening at the same time. So, we hope you’re up for bringing your spark and big smile to the newest addition to the Sticks ‘n’ Sushi family.

Are you

• A confident individual who thrives in a buzzing, fast-paced environment of excellence?
• Adaptable and able to stay calm and move with change without letting standards drop?
• A natural listener, who supports with a big smile and a small ego?
• Culturally curious and hungry to learn more about our Danish ’n’ Japanese roots?

• Ensure that standards of cleanliness are maintained throughout the bar and restaurant
• Continuously develop knowledge of our new products and concepts
• Be the face of our values, culture and brand, helping our guests to leave the real world behind for a little while
• Bring passion, energy, and personality to the bar
