Job Description

Receptionist / Bartender (Crew Member)

Join the team at MOXY Milton Keynes, where the traditional hotel lobby is replaced by a high-energy bar and social hub. As a Crew Member, you aren’t just a receptionist or a bartender—you are the heart of the guest experience. This is a dynamic, multi-skilled role where you’ll pivot between checking in guests “the Moxy way” and shaking up cocktails, all while maintaining a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

The Mission

You are a brand ambassador who ensures every guest feels at home. Whether you are managing room inventory or operating Food & Beverage outlets, you do it with “Moxie”—meaning you have high energy, a fearless attitude, and a natural ability to chat with people from all walks of life.

Key Responsibilities

Guest Experience: Manage the check-in/out process and proactively help guests with their needs.
F&B Operations: Operate the bar and food outlets, including food prep, cleaning, and restocking.
Financial Accuracy: Manage all bills and payments correctly and efficiently.
Safety & Standards: Adhere to all food safety, licensing, and health and safety policies.
Teamwork: Support other Crew Members and promote the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program.
Logistics: Handle deliveries and organize Back of House (BOH) areas to keep the “front” looking sharp.

What is “Moxie”?

You are a skilled multitasker who knows that being “relaxed” isn’t the same as being lazy.
You are a clear communicator, fluent in English (additional languages are a bonus).
you are a team player who solves problems proactively.

FAQs

What does a “casual contract” mean for this role?

A casual contract (often known as a zero-hours or “as required” contract) offers flexibility, allowing you to work shifts as the hotel needs them, which is ideal for balancing other commitments.

Do I need prior experience with hotel software?

While not mandatory, knowledge of systems like Opera (for rooms) or Micros (for F&B) is considered very useful and will give your application an edge.

Is there a degree requirement?

No degree is mentioned; the focus is entirely on your “Moxie”—your personality, energy, and communication skills.

Are there opportunities for travel?

As part of the Marriott family, one of the biggest perks is significantly discounted room rates at Marriott hotels worldwide for you, your friends, and your family.

What is the “Moxy way” of checking in?

Moxy check-ins usually happen at the bar! It’s designed to be informal, fast, and friendly, often involving a complimentary drink for the guest upon arrival.

Expert Analysis

The hourly rate of £13.13 is notably higher than the standard UK National Living Wage, reflecting the “dual-role” nature of the position. Since Moxy is a Marriott brand, this is an excellent “foot in the door” for anyone looking to build a career in global hospitality management, as internal transfers across their 30+ brands are common.

Location & Logistics Guide

Moxy Milton Keynes is located in the heart of the city’s business and entertainment district. Its central location means it is highly accessible via the Milton Keynes Central train station and local bus hubs, making it a convenient commute for those living across the city or in nearby towns like Wolverton or Bletchley.
