Grow with us...Life at Starwood Hotels is based on a simple idea: the world is beautiful and we want to keep it that way. But we can’t do it alone. That’s why hiring thoughtful and inspiring Team Members and Leaders who understand that our people, collaboration, stellar service, and respect for nature are so important to us.

Treehouse Hotels bar life requires strength, patience, stamina, imagination, great reflexes, openness to change, and a good sense of humour. Being nice goes a long way, too!

We’re currently seeking a Head Bartender for our brand-new restaurant concept shaped by creativity and collaboration. Sister Moon is a vibrant Southeast Asian restaurant by Sam Grainger, opening 14 floors up within Treehouse Manchester. A place where bold flavours meet bright energy, where the spirit of exploration is as important as the food on the plate, and where every detail is designed to spark curiosity, connection, and joy.

Sister Moon is more than a restaurant — it’s an experience. Think glowing city views, playful interiors, layered aromas of Southeast Asia, and a team that brings warmth, personality, and a sense of adventure to everything they do. We’re building a team of people who believe hospitality should feel alive.

We’re currently in search of an affable, creative, and accommodating Head Bartender, with the chops to win multiple mixology awards and the exuberance to provide guests a memorable, mood-lifting experience.
