Bartender/Lead Server

Bring your bartending and service skills to Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community. Our bartending team is a vibrant part of community life, providing excellent service and great hospitality in “Canon’s Corner,” our on-site, boutique-style resident bar.  Dining and hospitality are an important element of resident life, and our team is able to build relationships with a fun, engaging and active older adult resident population. 

Nestled on 125 acres in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Deerfield is an outstanding senior living community with a resort-like atmosphere.  Our dining and bartending team enjoys guaranteed hours (with NO late nights and the benefit of predictable schedules all year long), free parking, free uniforms and competitive pay along with a comprehensive benefits package.  Come do what you do best in a workplace where you can grow your skills and your career.    

We have great careers for either full or part-time hours, and days vary with weekend rotations and periodic holidays.  Our Bartenders work both behind the bar and front of house doing a variety of tasks by: 

• Bring friendly and courteous service to residents in our beautiful and busy bar, with both indoor and outdoor service
• Ensure a positive and fun experience for resident guests of the bar, including great service and the highest quality and cleanliness standards
• Training is provided/ prior bartending experience preferred
• Excellent customer service is a must, as is effective communication with both residents and staff
• Weekend and holiday availability required
• Must be able to consistently walk and stand for approx. 4 hours at a time.

This full-time role has a great schedule of Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00am-7:30pm, with no late nights.  Given the unique nature of our service, our bartenders flex by assisting with other front of house tasks in a lead Server role when the bar is closed.  Starting pay is $18.50hour.  Please note that Deerfield is a no-tipping environment.
