Why not get paid for doing what you love, enjoy loads of perks and benefits, learn new skills, and make a career for life with Malmaison?

We’re pioneers of the modern metropolitan townhouse hotel, emphasizing chic, high-quality bedrooms. Food and drink are central to each Malmaison hotel; our bars and brasseries are popular destinations within their local areas. Each hotel is a unique transformation of a historic building, designed with a bold, adventurous vision of luxurious hospitality.

Malmaison offers something different from the usual hotel bar. Our guests expect high standards of banter, knowledge, and entertainment when grabbing a drink, whether it be a quick one (or two) after work or before a night out.

As a Bar Manager, you will be a hands-on operator who, using your knowledge and experience, will motivate, educate, and inspire your team to deliver the best guest experience. You should have similar Bar Manager experience, preferably within high-profile bars, and be accustomed to high volume and high standards while working under pressure.

We hold internal Cocktail Competitions where you or a team member can showcase your cocktails by adding to the eclectic drinks menu. We encourage our Bar Teams to embrace the latest drinks trends.

There is daily and weekly paperwork to complete, but you will be familiar with Stock Control systems and writing Rotas to a budget, so this won't be an issue. Everything else can be taught on the job.

Do you want to be part of something different, working with the best food, drink, and a brand you can be proud of?

We create memories that our guests never forget. This could be your next step into an F&B Manager position – we actively encourage internal development and progression. Onwards and upwards.

In addition to competitive rates of pay, we offer:

• Heavily discounted Staff Room Rates at Malmaison, Hotel du Vin, and Frasers Hospitality, with rooms from £65 per night.
• Discounted Friends and Family Room Rate with 50% off the best available rate.
• 35% off your bill when dining in our Brasseries and Bistros.
• Fully funded Apprenticeship programs supporting your career development.
• High street discounts on shops, experiences, holidays, and more.
• Cycle to work scheme – save up to 40% on bikes.
• Healthcare Cash Plans – dental, optical, medical, and more from £5 per month.
• Referral schemes paying up to £1500 for referring new staff.
• A decent uniform that doesn’t look like an extra from a 70s TV sitcom.
• A Wellness & National Campaign Days Calendar promoting activities like Pay Day Lunches, National Popcorn Day, Mental Health Awareness Week, and more.
• Wagestream – instant access to your earned wages, tracking wages in real time, and managing money better.
• Complimentary stays on your 1st, 3rd, and 5th anniversaries with Dinner, Bed & Breakfast.
• Support for neurological conditions through The Brain Charity.
• Employee Assistance Programme – free, confidential advice 24/7 for you and your family.

Plus, upon completing your probation:

• Private Medical Healthcare
• Bonus Plan based on KPIs
• Critical Illness cover
• Life Assurance

Our Sustainability Goals:

• 100% renewable energy for electricity, mainly from UK Wind Farms.
• Recycling at least 70% of hotel waste, championed by our Sustainability Council.
• Transition to chemical-free cleaning systems and eco-friendly kitchen systems.
• Volunteer two days per year for sustainable charities, paid in full.
