Job description

Our Personality

The knowledgeable individual who shares stories; the guide who knows both the coastal path and the nautical lifestyle

What are we looking for - Confident, quietly surprising, warm, witty, respectful.

Our Values

Everything we do ties people closer to each other, to nature, and to the Dart.

We are proud of our connection to the region, producers and traditions. Our people are ambassadors for Dartmouth sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm.

We create experiences that connect people – to each other, to nature, and to the stories of this place. Guests feel part of something larger – a living community, a heritage that matters, a landscape that restores. It’s connection that sparks curiosity, nurtures relationships, and ensures every traveller feels in their element

Our promise

At Noss on Dart everyone is welcomed with warmth, enriched by heritage, and inspired by the pause between tide and trail.

Here, the menus shift with the tide and the hedgerow, bringing food and drink that are rooted in place and served with generosity. The crew carry a rare instinct for service, quick to notice, quicker to connect, and always approachable.

Heritage is never hidden away but woven into the experience, with stories of shipbuilders, sailors, and writers alive in the spaces. As a true waypoint, the setting opens equally to sea and land, past and present.

The spa and surrounding nature move guests from salt to stillness, restoring balance inside and out. And throughout, partnerships with local producers, neighbours, and voices ensure the spirit of Dartmouth flows through every stay.
