Job description

Assistant Bar Manager – Homewood, Bath

Be our Assistant Bar Manager, but most importantly, be you!

Homewood is a 32-bedroom boutique hotel and spa near Bath where luxury loosens its tie and nobody takes themselves too seriously.

We’re a zesty, imaginative bunch who love creating unexpected moments of delight for our guests. And the biggest part of that is our people.

We want you to bring your personality, ideas and energy to the role. We’re a diverse and inclusive team, we back each other, and while we take great hospitality seriously, we’re also serious about having a bloody good time along the way.
