Be our Restaurant & Bar Manager but most importantly be you!
Run the floor. Lead the vibe. Be completely yourself.
We’re looking for a Restaurant & Bar Manager with energy, style and serious people skills to help lead the food and drink experience across The Bird and support exciting projects at our sister hotel, Dukes, in Bath.
This is not a beige management role. We want someone who can bring the buzz, lead from the front, build a brilliant team culture and make every service feel memorable. You’ll be a key part of shaping one of Bath’s most vibrant dining destinations.
At Kaleidoscope Collection, personality matters. We hire people, not robots. So yes, we want your experience, your leadership and your standards, but most importantly, we want you.
What you’ll get
* Monthly service payments, plus monthly pay
* Free parking for team members
* Flexible working hours — let’s talk about what works for you
* Freshly cooked meals from our chefs when you’re on duty
* Progression and training opportunities across Kaleidoscope Collection
* Cash‑saving benefits to help your pay go further, plus wellbeing support for you and your family
* Discounts on eating, drinking and stays across all our properties
* £500 refer‑a‑friend scheme
* A stimulating, creative workplace with a genuinely diverse team
* The chance to be part of a business that lives and breathes its purpose
And yes, there’s more where that came from.
Why The Bird?
Set in the heart of Bath, The Bird is bold, boutique and full of personality. Stylish, playful and anything but ordinary, it brings a fresh energy to one of the city’s most iconic locations.

Alongside Dukes, we’re building something exciting — and we’re looking for people who want to be part of it
