Great Minds Drink Alike… Why not get paid for doing what you love, get loads of perks and benefits, learn new skills and make a career for life with Malmaison.

If you know your way around a bar, can tell your pinot from your chardonnay and can shake a mean martini this is the job for you.

Malmaison offers something different to the usual hotel bar and our guests expect a high standard of banter, knowledge and entertainment when grabbing a drink whether it be a quick one (or two) after work, before a night out or as part of the wider F&B experience.

We are open 7 days a week 365 days a year and need people to work a range of shifts and days - this means we can offer great flexibility if required. We are busier generally during evenings and weekends but shift patterns and contracted hours can all be discussed at interview.

If you are looking for career training we offer nationally recognized apprenticeships which sit alongside our detailed brand training. We'll help you be 'The Difference' between good and great guest experiences.

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 the next step for you into a Bar Manager position – we actively encourage internal development and progression. Onwards and upwards.
