Cocktail Bartender

Job Description – Bar Tender

Company: Crafted

Reporting to: Restaurant Manager

Salary Range Inc Service: £12.82 p/h plus service charge

Location: Crafted at Powdermills

We’re not hiring people to fill a seat or add to our
headcount. We’re hiring people to craft our culture, ethos and success. This is
a big deal for us, and we know it’s a big deal for you: a new role defines how
you spend your days, who you spend them with, and what your future looks
like.

Together, we’ll shape each other’s entire trajectory.
That deserves thoughtfulness, empathy and respect. It’s why this job
description is deliberately detailed. We want you to know exactly what you’re
stepping into. The challenges, the opportunities, the quirks of the role, and
the kind of impact you’ll have.

Us

Crafted is a series of life-friendly hotels and spaces
where guests can be themselves and fill up on the good stuff: nature, food,
wellbeing, craft, people and play. We hope to open several hotels in the coming
years, with our first coming in summer 2025: Crafted at Powdermills, East
Sussex.

More specifics will follow as planning and pieces fall
into place. So, for now, here’s the sentiment behind Crafted…

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by life. To switch to
autopilot and go through the motions. We’re busy but not on the things we love
doing, we spend more time on our phone, and we misplace our bounce and
spark.

In short, Dr Evil’s stolen our mojo.

We all need a tune up now and again. To escape to
somewhere that makes us feel totally at ease. Not so we can step away from
life, but so we can come back to it. This is where Crafted comes in.

Our aim is to create a network of connected destinations
that people come back to again and again because it’s where they feel good
about life. Somewhere to work on life, come together, and connect locally.

You

Crafted’s culture will be inclusive and agile but with
ambitious goals and a start-up mentality. We need to execute brilliantly from
day one and every team member will contribute wherever they are able.

Our bars are at the heart of Powdermills places to
pause, celebrate, and connect, whether it’s over a pint in the pub, a glass of
wine at dinner, or a cocktail at the bar. As a Bartender, you’ll be part of the
team that brings these moments to life, serving drinks with craft, warmth, and
consistency.

That said, as a Bar Tender, your primary
responsibilities will be to:

· Prepare
and serve drinks to a consistently high standard, from pints to cocktails

· Deliver
confident, attentive service across the bars, engaging naturally with guests

· Maintain
a clean, well-organised and fully stocked bar throughout service

· Support
smooth stock rotation and flag low or missing items to managers

· Follow
recipes and specs accurately while moving with pace and efficiency

· Work
closely with the floor team to keep service flowing seamlessly

· Take
pride in presentation, both of drinks and of the bar itself

We’re looking for someone with:

· Previous
bar experience in a busy, quality-driven environment

· A
natural sense of pace and confidence behind the bar

· Knowledge
of classic cocktails, beers, wines and non-alcoholic serves (or eagerness to
learn fast)

· Strong
communication and teamwork skills — happy to muck in wherever needed

· Attention
to detail and pride in delivering a polished, consistent experience

· A
friendly, grounded approach that makes guests feel at ease

Together

We hire people with personality who have a desire to
continuously learn. Each person should bring themselves to work to shape our
culture and keep us real, interesting, and original.

To create a comfortable environment for all, guest and
staff, we prioritise teamwork over titles: no one’s too important to lend a
hand, or to new to have a good opinion. We need low egos but high expectations:
people who are humble enough to jump in, and serious about making an impact.

Three values we’ll expect you to live by:

1. Enjoy
   it: it’s still work, but if you’re having fun then so are our guests. It’s
   ok if you’re humming behind the bar or moving with the music.


2. Own
   it: whoever you are, and whatever your role, someone’s enjoyment is in
   your hands. Always keep an eye out.


3. Improve
   it: ask for feedback (and don’t be scared of what follows), and be
   curious. We’ll give you plenty of chances to learn and develop.

Note: positive Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) principles are integrated across these three values.
