Nestled in the iconic cobbled alleyways of The Lanes. Once the historic fishing village of Brighthelmstone, today The Lanes are home to designer boutiques, upmarket jewellers and antique stores. Set back off the seafront, just a short stroll from the Palace Pier. Brighton is one of the most vibrant, colourful and creative cities in Europe. It offers everything from Regency heritage to beachfront cool. A fantastic mix of iconic attractions, famed nightlife, funky arts, culture and year-round festivals and events.

About The Role

Hotel Du Vin is looking for a leader in the making. Someone who will understand that running a successful business isn’t just about exceeding the brand standards, or having a super P&L. We want someone who will look after the team and by developing them will deliver the expectation of celebrity service.

You will be 12 months (or less) from running your own hotel and keen to join a brand that will give you the opportunity to shine

In this role you’re a real organiser, who loves leading and motivating your team. You will be driving the brand strategy in all elements of the business and set HDV apart from the competition as a preferred employer and destination to stay, eat and drink.

You will know the market and understand how to maximise revenue within the business by looking at the bigger picture, managing the detail through your department managers and team will be second nature and leading from the front to set the example is something you are no stranger to.

Ideally you will have had previous experience in managing large teams and you will have a sound knowledge of food and drink in a similar sized property however this isn’t a deal breaker.
