About the Role
We are looking for two friendly, reliable seasonal bar staff to run Wainwrights Bar, the bottom bar at The Bay Hotel in Robin Hood’s Bay. The roles will run from now to the end of September.
Wainwrights Bar is a welcoming stop for walkers completing or hiking the famous Coast to Coast route, so we’re particularly interested in people who love the outdoors and enjoy meeting people who have just completed an incredible challenge.
Between the two positions, the bar will operate 7 days a week, typically 11am – 7pm, with around 66 hours available in total. Hours can be arranged in a few ways depending on applicants, for example:
- Two roles of ~30–35 hours each, or
- One full-time role (~40+ hours) and one part-time role (~20+ hours)
There may be opportunities for continued work beyond September depending on staffing requirements in the hotel’s top bar, but this is not guaranteed.
