Job description

Be part of the family...

We’re a family business through and through – family owned, family run, with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small but all offer good food & drink, great beds and a ton of things to do.

Crieff Hydro Hotel

Pretty much in the centre of Scotland, we’re set in a 900acre estate in stunning Perthshire. Home from home, we’ve been welcoming generations of families for 150 years. We have 215 hotel bedrooms, 55 self-catering lodges, six restaurants and over 60 onsite activities– there really is something for everyone!

About the role

With the best views on the estate and only a 20 min walk from the hotel, our food concept is simple but wholesome at Basecamp. The Clubhouse has 40 seats and an outdoor seating area which is brilliant for BBQs on sunny days.

We are looking for someone who is sociable and approachable that delivers service with a genuine smile. It is great if you have some previous hospitality, barista and/or waiting experience but full training will be provided. It is your attitude and personality that will really count.

What we need for you

• Willingness – a desire to learn and work in hospitality
• Team focus – there are no egos here, just hard-working people who love creating memorable experiences for every guest
• Ideas and openness – we’re up for doing things differently and will try (almost) everything once
• Fun and easy to talk to – we’re looking for personality, not a corporate clone
• Flexibility – there’s no problem you can’t fix

• The chance to work in afriendly, forward thinking companywith investment as a priority.
• Great benefits– including pension, and discounts on leisure membership, food and hotel stays
