    About Us Let’s be honest: there are thousands of pubs in London, but there’s only one De Hems. Tucked away in the vibrant heart of Soho, we are London’s premier Dutch pub. We’ve got a rich history (we were a meeting place for the Dutch resistance in WWII!), an incredible selection of craft beers, and an atmosphere that’s always buzzing. We don't just serve pints; we serve good times. And right now, we need some awesome people to help us pour them. What You’ll Be Doing Being the Face of the Pub: Greeting regulars, welcoming tourists, and making everyone feel like they’ve just walked into a cozy Amsterdam bar. The Art of the Perfect Pour: Mastering the perfect two-finger head on a Dutch pilsner (yes, it’s a science, and yes, we will teach you). Keeping the Energy High: Working hard during busy Soho shifts, laughing with your team, and ensuring the vibe is always immaculate. Mastering the Menu: Explaining the difference between our top-tier drafts and recommending the perfect plate of bitterballen to go with them. Who You Are A Natural People Person: You’ve got banter, a warm smile, and you genuinely enjoy chatting with people from all walks of life. A Team Player: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a "we're all in this together" attitude.

  • Chemist/Biologist/Biochemist Consultant for Sci-fi Novel
    Chemist/Biologist/Biochemist Consultant for Sci-fi Novel
    1 month ago
    Part-time

    Hello there. I'm a recent winner of a literary award for my soon to published science fiction novel(s), and I am looking for professionals, specifically in the sciences, to act as consultants. Originally, I had students in mind for this role but anyone with an interest is absolutely welcome to apply — a bonus if you like science-fiction books/film/television! I am hoping this partnership will lead to a lasting relationship in which you will assist me on the full book as well as up coming future works (of which I hope there to be many more of). I will be asking for your help on many weird, wonderful, and speculative subjects in which my creative brain needs someone with an academic mind for some realistic grounding in reality. However, as with all science fiction, creative license is always welcome. To give you an idea of the sort of things I may ask for your expertise on, I am currently looking for help on solidifying the technical biological makeup of an alien hive-parasite organism. I have the entire concept laid out, I know what I want the organism to be and do, I just need a science mind to help solidify the chemical attributes, to write out and explain what the organism is made up of, in a way that makes sense (Is it silicon-cabron based, for instance? People keep telling me it should be but I don't know what the hell that means — help!) Obviously, this is fiction and does not all of have to be based in fact, but it has to sound plausible, and most importantly believable to the audience. If you are not a biologist or biochemist but have expertise, please still apply! If you're based in or around London, it would be great to meet and discuss. Otherwise a call/zoom is fine. I'm aware this job offer is unorthodox, but I'd be happy to offer a payment of flat fee of £50 for this first project.
