Job Description:

De Vere Tortworth Court is a hotel that definitely has the WOW factor: a magnificent Grade II listed mansion house in South Gloucestershire, complete with sweeping drive entrance, Victorian arboretum and 30 acres of grounds making it a truly unique place to work. There are 201 bedrooms and suites, 14 meeting and event spaces including the Orangery, 2 Food & Beverage outlets, a seasonal outdoor Tipi and a Leisure Club & Spa offering treatments.

Your commute: we're just a short way from J14 of the M5 and commutable by car from both Bristol and Gloucester.

At De Vere, we warmly welcome everyone and foster a sense of belonging, where each person is valued and appreciated. Join our team and become part of a passionate group of individuals who genuinely care about the experiences we create for our guests and colleagues.

Ready to help plan meetings & events that leave lasting memories?

Join us at De Vere Tortworth Court in Wotton under Edge in this pivotal role that brings meetings & events to life!

As a Senior Event Sales Co-ordinator you will convert meeting and event enquiries into bookings, showcasing our venue through showrounds and helping our clients to plan every detail of their event. You will work as part of our busy events planning team, effectively communicating client requirements to our operational team who will then run the events on the day.

In return the role offers £28,000 per annum, plus excellent benefits including a sales incentive scheme (paid quarterly), free meals, an annual complimentary stay with dinner at a De Vere Hotel, plus additional stays for just £50 and a paid day off for your birthday, to name just a few!

Your skills and experience:
• You will have event planning / co-ordination experience ideally from within a hotel or events venue.
• You are passionate about events and prepared to put your heart and soul into delivering memorable experiences for our guests.
• You forge strong working relationships and create genuine connections with colleagues and our valued guests through your excellent communication skills.
• You are confident using IT software - familiarity with Opera software would be beneficial but is not essential as training can be provided.

Most of all, you will share our values such as being graciously warm, demonstrating a genuine approach, anticipating guest needs and ensuring every detail is considered.

The Pay & Benefits:

• £28,000 per year (base salary) plus a quarterly Sales Incentive Scheme with the opportunity to earn extra up to 10% of your annual salary.
• Monthly Hotel Service Charge.
• Free meals on duty in our colleague dining facilities.
• Stay in shape with complimentary use of the Leisure Club facilities saving you money on costly gym memberships.

• As a token of our gratitude for your loyalty, we'll treat you to an annual complimentary 2-night stay with dinner in a De Vere property of your choice, plus additional monetary rewards for reaching long service milestones.
• Discover exclusive perks with our £50 colleague rates for overnight stays at De Vere properties, accompanied by a fantastic 50% discount on Food & Beverage.
• 28 days holiday each year (increasing annually up to 33 days).
• Venue closure over the Christmas period allowing you time off to enjoy the festive season.
• Explore our Exclusively Yours Benefits portal, unlocking hundreds of discounts on retail, travel, and leisure activities.
