Job description

Be a Waiter but
most importantly be you!

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.
