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.
Your working hours will generally fall between guest check-out and the arrival of new guests. You’ll work approximately 25–30 hours per week across four or five days.
What you’ll be doing
-
Responding to day-to-day maintenance issues across the hotel
-
Carrying out planned and preventative maintenance tasks
-
Completing routine checks to help maintain a safe working environment
-
Supporting teams across both front-of-house and back-of-house areas
-
Carrying out general repairs and improvements
-
Helping maintain the presentation and condition of guest and team areas
-
Identifying issues and escalating work that requires a specialist contractor
-
Ensuring work is completed safely and with minimal disruption to our guests
What we’re looking for
You may have previous experience in areas such as:
-
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:
-
A hands-on and proactive approach
-
Good problem-solving skills
-
High standards of presentation
-
An understanding of health and safety
-
The ability to organise and prioritise your workload
-
A friendly and helpful approach when dealing with guests and colleagues
-
The confidence to work independently and as part of a team
What happens next?
Send us your application and tell us about your previous maintenance or practical experience.
If your application catches our attention, we’ll give you a call for an initial conversation.
You may then be invited to spend an hour or two with the team as part of a Team Insight. This gives you the opportunity to see the hotel, meet the people you could be working with and ask any questions you may have.
If everything goes well, you may soon become part of The Bird team.
