Job description

Be a Breakfast Manager, but most importantly be you!

Love mornings, great food and making sure every guest starts their day the right way?

We’re looking for an experienced Breakfast Manager to lead our breakfast team, keep service running smoothly and bring plenty of energy to the most important meal of the day.This is a 45 hours per week role, 5 out of 7 day flexible rota.

Part Georgian country house, part playground for the curious. 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 with a habit of hiding mischief around every corner. Talking-point chandeliers, unexpected sculptures in the gardens, a giant teddy bear or two, that's just how we do things here. We create unexpected little moments of delight, and our team is the biggest one of all.

Whether you're brand new to hospitality or it's been your world for years, we want you to bring your whole self through the door. We're a diverse, inclusive team who genuinely believe that the more you you are, the better this place gets. We back each other, we respect our guests and community, and we are always, always, serious about giving people a bloody good time.

At our hotel we want our people to be themselves and that means you. Join our team and here is what you’ll get for being yourself:

• Monthly tronc/service charge payments on top of basic pay- this really adds up!
• Meals on duty, prepared by the kitchen team
• Free on-site parking
• Paid extra day off for your birthday
• Hospitality Action Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) – confidential wellbeing, financial and emotional support
• Flexible working arrangements, where operationally possible
• Big discounts on food & beverage, spa treatments and stays with us, and our sister hotels- and special rates for friends and family
• Access to to discounts with at PoB hotels, subject to availability
• Training and progression opportunities
• Single eye test via Specsavers
• £500 Refer a Friend scheme
• Workplace pension in line with the company scheme/statutory requirements
• Length of service awards like free stays, personal development allowance, and volunteering days off
• 1 additional day of paid annual leave added to the base 28 days after ONLY 2 years!

What you’ll be doing

As our Breakfast Manager, you’ll take ownership of the breakfast operation, making sure both the team and our guests have a brilliant start to the day.

You’ll:

• Lead and motivate the breakfast team
• Run smooth, organised breakfast services
• Welcome guests and make sure they’re well looked after
• Work closely with the kitchen and wider hotel team
• Organise daily briefings and allocate sections
• Maintain high standards of service and presentation
• Support training and development within the team
• Keep on top of rotas, staffing and day-to-day organisation
• Deal confidently with guest requests and any issues that arise
• Make sure opening, closing and health & safety procedures are followed

Most importantly, you’ll be you.

You’ll be someone who is naturally organised, positive and comfortable taking the lead. Breakfast can be busy, so you’ll need to stay calm, keep the team motivated and make sure our guests never see the pressure behind the scenes.

You’ll already have experience working as a Breakfast Supervisor or in a similar senior hospitality role, and you’ll be ready to take that next step into management.

If you know how to run a brilliant breakfast service, love looking after guests and are ready to lead a great team, we’d love to hear from you.
