At Homewood we approach the serious matter of hospitality with a huge amount of imagination and a delicate touch of mischief. You will be part of our zesty team who are passionate about our 31 bedroom hotel with incredible spa and dining space. We love to create unexpected little moments of delight with talking points as you journey through our hotel.

A collection of glamorous chandeliers or random sculptures around the gardens, a giant teddy bear for instance! We all know that really our team is the cherry on the cake and that’s why we are waiting for you…

What’s it like to work with us? Well, we are an imaginative, playful team who encourage each other to remain unconventional, no matter if you’re new to hospitality or if this is a lifelong career. Our diverse, inclusive community encourages a culture where you can be the you’est you, you can be; it makes working in this hotel that little bit more exciting. We stand behind being big hearted, respecting each other, our guests and the wider community. On top of that, we are ALWAYS serious about giving our guests a bloody good time!

Bar & Lounge Manager what you’ll be doing: You will be the leader of the Bar & Lounge team, capable of creating great employee engagement and owning your guest experience. Lead from the front in demonstrating excellent guest care, hospitality skills and providing top level communication. We are serious about afternoon tea and you're going to be the one to show it as you raise standards and work with the chefs and your team to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Demonstrate a serious but playful love for cocktails, wines and spirits. Remain unconventional as you implement service standards, team training sessions and develop talent alongside rota planning, recruitment and payroll control. You will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Bar and Lounges and afternoon tea at our beautiful hotel while supporting the F & B team in lunch, dinner and special event service. You’ll work closely with our professional kitchen team to develop and enhance all Food and Drink offerings. Enjoy having full involvement in bringing ideas to the table and seeing them through to implementation alongside the senior F & B and hotel team. Take responsibility for Health & Safety, industry standards and liquor stock control. This is not an office job! We are looking for a hands-on leader to drive our Bar and Lounge team to the next level in this exciting chapter. This is an excellent opportunity to build your professional reputation in an exceptional environment.
