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.

It's why this job description is deliberately detailed.

We want you to know exactly what you're stepping into.

The challenges, the opportunities, the quirks of the role, and the kind of impact you'll have.

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.

We hope to open several hotels in the coming years, with our first coming in summer 2025: Crafted at Powdermills, East Sussex.

More specifics will follow as planning and pieces fall into place.

So, for now, here's the sentiment behind Crafted...

It's easy to get overwhelmed by life.

To switch to autopilot and go through the motions.

We're busy but not on the things we love doing, we spend more time on our phone, and we misplace our bounce and spark.

In short, Dr Evil's stolen our mojo.

We all need a tune up now and again.

To escape to somewhere that makes us feel totally at ease.

Not so we can step away from life, but so we can come back to it.

This is where Crafted comes in.

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.

You 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 pause, 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.

That said, as a Bar Tender, 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 prioritise teamwork over titles: no one's too important to lend a hand, or to 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 ok 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.
