Bar Supervisor

Launch a Landmark Bar in the Heart of Bath

Join the opening team of Parade Hotel Bath and help create one of the city’s most exciting new hospitality destinations. Set within Bath’s Georgian heart, the hotel is being beautifully restored to blend timeless architecture with modern elegance, warm hospitality, and memorable experiences. Opening in late summer 2026, our bar and lounge will operate throughout the day from morning coffee to evening cocktails with a drinks programme built on quality, curiosity, and genuine service.

This is more than a management role. It is a chance to help shape a destination bar from day one, influence the drink’s identity of the business, and assist in building a team and culture you are proud of. As Bar Supervisor you will assist the Bar Manager in leading the day‑to‑day operation of the hotel bar and lounge, while supporting the upcoming sister restaurant bar and wine offering.
