Cocktail Bartender

Salary Range Inc Service: £12.82 p/h plus service charge

Location: Crafted at Powdermills

We’re not hiring people to fill a seat or add to our headcount. We’re hiring people to craft our culture, ethos and success. This is a big deal for us, and we know it’s a big deal for you: a new role defines how you spend your days, who you spend them with, and what your future looks like. Together, we’ll shape each other’s entire trajectory. That deserves thoughtfulness, empathy and respect.

Us Crafted is a series of life‑friendly hotels and spaces where guests can be themselves and fill up on the good stuff: nature, food, wellbeing, craft, people and play. Our aim is to create a network of connected destinations that people come back to again and again because it’s where they feel good about life. Somewhere to work on life, come together, and connect locally.

Crafted’s culture will be inclusive and agile but with ambitious goals and a start‑up mentality. We need to execute brilliantly from day one and every team member will contribute wherever they are able. Our bars are at the heart of Powdermills places to use, celebrate, and connect, whether it’s over a pint in the pub, a glass of wine at dinner, or a cocktail at the bar.

As a Bartender, you’ll be part of the team that brings these moments to life, serving drinks with craft, warmth, and consistency. Your primary responsibilities will be to:

• Prepare and serve drinks to a consistently high standard, from pints to cocktails
• Deliver confident, attentive service across the bars, engaging naturally with guests
• Maintain a clean, well‑organised and fully stocked bar throughout service
• Support smooth stock rotation and flag low or missing items to managers
• Follow recipes and specs accurately while moving with pace and efficiency
• Work closely with the floor team to keep service flowing seamlessly
• Take pride in presentation, both of drinks and of the bar itself

We’re looking for someone with:

• Previous bar experience in a busy, quality‑driven environment
• A natural sense of pace and confidence behind the bar
• Knowledge of classic cocktails, beers, wines and non‑alcoholic serves (or eagerness to learn fast)
• Strong communication and teamwork skills — happy to muck in wherever needed
• Attention to detail and pride in delivering a polished, consistent experience
• A friendly, grounded approach that makes guests feel at ease

Together We hire people with personality who have a desire to continuously learn. Each person should bring themselves to work to shape our culture and keep us real, interesting, and original. To create a comfortable environment for all, guest and staff, we prioritize teamwork over titles: no one’s too important to lend a hand, and no one is too new to have a good opinion. We need low egos but high expectations: people who are humble enough to jump in, and serious about making an impact.

Three values we’ll expect you to live by:

• Enjoy it: it’s still work, but if you’re having fun then so are our guests. It’s okay if you’re humming behind the bar or moving with the music.
• Own it: whoever you are, and whatever your role, someone’s enjoyment is in your hands. Always keep an eye out.
• Improve it: ask for feedback (and don’t be scared of what follows), and be curious. We’ll give you plenty of chances to learn and develop.

Note: positive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles are integrated across these three values.
