Locke is growing. With new openings across the UK and Europe coming up, we’re at an exciting time in our young life. Want to get stuck in? Roll up your sleeves and let’s go.

The role.

Are you a natural host? Calm under pressure, with next‑level organisational skills? Do you find satisfaction in creating seamless hospitality and memorable experiences?

As the lynchpin of the Bar team, you’ll make sure guests feel genuinely special – from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.

• Oversee the daily operation of our main hotel bar and events bar
• Oversee and ensure smooth delivery of events
• Ensure high levels of customer satisfaction through excellent service

• Monitor inventory levels and order supplies as needed
• Train and mentor staff to maintain high standards of performance
• Handle customer complaints and resolve issues promptly
• Adhere to health and safety regulations

Qualifications

• At least one year’s experience in a similar role within the hospitality industry
• Solid knowledge of classic cocktails

• Excellent problem‑solving abilities
• Ability to work well under pressure

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance‑based incentives
• Free nights at your choice of our hotels
• Opportunities for career advancement
• Training and development programs
• Staff discounts on dining and accommodation
• Pension scheme

In return we offer you a bonus scheme, holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them), wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan and an Employee Assistance Programme), free nights in our properties, awesome recognition schemes, pension (the tax efficient way) and further benefits tailored to your individual needs.

When and Where?

We believe in working flexibly – this includes flexibility in work location, working days (including weekends and bank holidays in operations) and working hours. This may be ad hoc or permanent flexibility. See our careers page for more information.
