Bar & Lounge Manager

At Homewood, we take hospitality seriously.

We’re looking for a hands-on Bar & Lounge Manager to lead our Bar and Lounges, bring fresh ideas to the table and help us give our guests a bloody good time.

Set within our 31-bedroom hotel, spa and gardens just outside Bath, Homewood is full of personality, unexpected details and a little bit of mischief. Think glamorous chandeliers, quirky sculptures, giant teddy bears and a team who aren’t afraid to do things differently.

And now we’re looking for someone brilliant to join us.

Join the team and you’ll enjoy:

45 hours per week, 5 out of 7 days variable rota

Monthly service charge payments, typically around £400 per month for this role. This is non-guaranteed and will vary depending on business levels

Free team parking

Food prepared by our chefs while you’re on duty

Training and progression opportunities across Kaleidoscope Collection

Discounts on eating, drinking and staying at all our properties

£500 refer-a-friend scheme for any new full time team members introduced by you

A genuinely individual place to work where you’re encouraged to be yourself

And there’s more where those came from…

As our Bar & Lounge Manager, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day running of our Bar, Lounge, supporting the F&B team in restaurant, spa, lounges and terrace.

This is very much a hands-on role. You’ll be on the floor with your team, talking to guests, setting standards and making sure the atmosphere and service feel unmistakably Homewood.

You’ll:

Lead, inspire and develop our Bar & Lounge team

Create a brilliant guest experience from the first drink to the last

Take ownership of our Afternoon Tea experience and continue raising its standards

Bring knowledge, enthusiasm and a playful love of cocktails, wines and spirits

Train and coach the team, helping people develop and progress

Support recruitment, rotas and payroll control

Manage liquor stock and help maintain strong commercial controls

Work closely with our chefs to develop and improve our food and drink offering

Support lunch, dinner and special event service across the wider F&B operation

Bring new ideas to the senior F&B and hotel team – and help turn those ideas into reality

Maintain excellent Health & Safety and industry standards

You’ll be someone who enjoys leading from the front rather than managing from behind a desk.

You’ll know how to create a great atmosphere for both guests and your team, have strong food and beverage knowledge and be comfortable taking responsibility for a busy operation.

Most importantly, you’ll bring your own personality.

At Homewood, we encourage our people to remain unconventional. Whether hospitality has been your career for years or you’re ready to take your next big step, we want you to be the you’est you you can be.

We’re big-hearted, we respect each other, our guests and our wider community – and we’re always serious about creating memorable experiences.

Get our attention with your application and we’ll give you a call.

After an initial chat, we’ll invite you in for a relaxed Team Insight with the department. You’ll get the chance to meet us, see Homewood properly, ask plenty of questions – and we’ll ask you a few too.

If it feels right for both of us, you might just become part of the team.
