Craft Cocktails & Castle Dreams: Unleash Your Inner Alchemist at Kilkea Castle!

Calling all cocktail connoisseurs and hospitality magicians! Are you passionate about creating unforgettable experiences? Does the history and charm of a 12th‑century castle ignite your soul? Then raise a glass and step into your dream role as Bartender/Mixologist at the enchanting Kilkea Castle!

Beyond mixing drinks, you'll be:

• A hospitality hero: Craft personalized experiences for every guest, from history buffs to romance seekers. Your warmth and wit will be their most memorable souvenir.
• A castle custodian: Ensure the bar reflects Kilkea's elegance and history. Think polished pewter tankards, locally sourced ingredients, and stories shared with a twinkle in your eye.
• A team player: Collaborate with colleagues to keep the bar humming, from prepping garnishes to sharing flair‑tending secrets. We value teamwork and laughter as much as impeccable service.

Requirements

You're a perfect fit if you:

• Possess a deep understanding of spirits, liqueurs, and mixology techniques. (Think beyond the basics!)
• Can whip up classic cocktails with flair and invent signature creations that leave guests speechless.
• Exude warmth, charm, and genuine enthusiasm for creating memorable moments.
• Thrive in a fast‑paced environment, juggling orders with a smile and a story.
• Appreciate history and have a knack for weaving it into your guest interactions.
• Accommodation is provided (monthly cost of 280 Euro inclusive of bills).
• Meals while on duty.
• Discounts on stays at the resort and on food & beverage for you, your family and friends.
• Strong focus on team and culture.
• Great opportunities to progress your career in an encouraging and supportive environment.
