About The Bird


Located in the heart of Bath, The Bird is a boutique hotel with a bold personality.


Think vibrant rooms, a seriously good grill restaurant and a terrace that catches every ray of Bath sunshine. We’re not your average hotel, and we’re not looking for average people.


Working here is imaginative, a little unconventional and genuinely good fun. Whether hospitality is your first job or your life’s work, you’ll find a team that encourages you to be fully and unapologetically yourself.


We’re big-hearted, inclusive and look after each other just as well as we look after our guests.


We’re also very serious about making sure our guests have a bloody good time.

About the role


As our Hotel Maintenance Assistant, you’ll help keep the hotel safe, presentable and running smoothly.


This is a practical, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys solving problems, completing jobs properly and supporting others.

  • General property maintenance

  • Plumbing

  • Painting and decorating

  • Basic electrical work

  • Carpentry

  • Building or facilities maintenance


We don’t expect every applicant to have experience in all these areas. What matters most is that you are practical, dependable and willing to learn.


You’ll also need:

  • Good problem-solving skills
  • High standards of presentation

  • An understanding of health and safety

  • The ability to organise and prioritise your workload
