Job description

Be part of the Family

We’re a family business through and through – family owned since 1868, family run and with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small, but all offer fantastic food and drink, cozy beds and a wealth of things to do.

Crieff Hydro Hotel

In the heart of Scotland, we’re set in a 900 acre estate in stunning Perthshire. A home from home, we’ve been welcoming generations of families for 150 years. We have 215 hotel bedrooms, 55 self-catering lodges, 6 restaurants and over 60 onsite activities – including a spa, leisure centre, horse-riding centre and our famously exciting Action Glen. There really is something for everyone!

About The Role

We’re looking for a Staff Social Bar & Engagement Manager to join our Food & Beverage team on a full-time basis (40 hours per week) with a salary of up to £30,000 per year. This is a unique role where hospitality meets community - you’ll run our staff-only bar, the Staff Social, while also helping to create events and initiatives that bring our team together.

You’ll manage the day-to-day operation of the Staff Social bar, including service, stock control, and compliance, while working closely with the Social Committee to plan activities and promote wellbeing. You’ll also assist in the management of our staff accommodation alongside our Staff Accommodation Supervisor, and act as a mental health champion, making sure our people feel supported and connected.

If you love hospitality, have bartending experience, and enjoy creating a positive workplace culture, this could be the perfect role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Running the Staff Social bar, including bartending, stock management, and maintaining service standards.
• Assist in managing our staff accommodation in partnership with the Staff Accommodation Supervisor (assisting with conducting room checks, monitoring room allocations and organising new arrivals).
• Organising and delivering social events and activities for staff.
• Acting as a mental health champion and promoting wellbeing initiatives.
• Working closely with the Social Committee to bring ideas to life.
• Ensuring compliance with licensing and health & safety regulations.

What We Need From You

• Hospitality experience – bartending and bar management skills are essential.
• Organisation – able to plan events and manage accommodation effectively.
• People skills – approachable, empathetic, and a great communicator.
• Enthusiasm – a genuine passion for creating a supportive and fun workplace.
• Confidence – comfortable engaging with staff at all levels.

What You’ll Get From Us

• Up to £30,000 per annum DOE plus a share of tips (estimated £2,000 per annum for full time team members).

• Live-in Accommodation – On-site, affordable housing with bills included may be available. Most rooms are single occupancy with an ensuite, though this isn’t guaranteed. Availability and rates (set by HMRC) can be discussed at interview.
• Free Meals on Shift – Stay fuelled and focused with delicious staff meals while you work.
• Exclusive Discounts – Enjoy free leisure membership for you and a partner, 30% off retail, 50% of food and drinks, and reduced rates on hotel activities.
• Team Rate Hotel Stays – Take time to recharge with discounted stays at all of our hotels from just £30 per night - where will you explore next?
• Refer a Friend Bonus – Earn up to £250-£500 for each successful team member or manager which you recommend to us.
• Guest Mention Rewards – Earn £5 every time a guest gives you a positive shoutout in a review.
• A Friendly & Supportive Team – Work in a fun, welcoming environment where team spirit and well-being are a priority.
• Career Progression – With seven hotels, multiple departments, and a wide range of roles, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow and explore new career paths.
• Wellbeing Support – Get 24/7 confidential support via the Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme, covering mental health, finances, and more.
• Team Events & Annual Staff Party – We love to celebrate our people! Enjoy team events throughout the year and a legendary annual staff party.
