Choose your specialism

Supervisor Plus - Buffets

Be the face of a warm, welcoming dining experience. You'll champion food safety, keep the bays looking abundant and appealing, work closely with the kitchen on quality and timing, and coach your team to deliver five-star hospitality on every shift.

Supervisor Plus - Bars & Shops

Bring the energy to our bars and retail spaces. You'll coach the team on sales and service, keep queues moving with sharp, dynamic deployment, nail stock control, and help every venue run exactly to brand standard - while having fun doing it.

Supervisor Plus - Restaurants & QSRs

Set the tone for a brilliant dining experience from the moment guests sit down. You'll drive upselling on starters, desserts, and drinks, coach confident, natural guest conversations, and make sure every checkback leaves guests feeling looked after.

Supervisor Plus - Splash

Take the lead in one of our most safety-critical, high-energy environments. You'll bring poolside expertise and a genuine passion for the water, keeping standards high and guests safe while your team delivers a brilliant splash experience.

About You

You're a natural leader who's just as comfortable coaching a team through a busy shift as you are chatting confidently with a guest. You lead by example, you notice the details others miss, and you know how to turn feedback - good or bad - into real improvement.

You'll Bring

• Leadership that gets results - you know how to coach, support, and get the best out of a team, with demonstrable experience in managing performance, coaching, delivering training, and setting the standard through your own behaviour
• A sharp eye for detail - confident supporting audits and observation-based checks, and turning what you find into action
• Genuine guest-facing experience - comfortable handling a wide range of guest queries, and confident stepping in when a complaint needs a calm, professional resolution
• A commercial mindset - a track record of driving sales through promotions, upselling, or new initiatives that support the wider team's objectives

Why this role?

• A brand-new opportunity - help define what great looks like in this role
• Variety, every week - no two days the same, across accommodation and your chosen specialism
• Real influence - your coaching and decisions directly shape the guest experience
• Room to grow - develop your leadership skills across multiple departments and disciplines
• Flexibility and range - experience working across a multi-skilled team, moving to where guest demand needs you most
• Brilliant communication - able to connect with people at every level, from your team to senior managers to guests
• Adaptability under pressure - comfortable juggling multiple priorities and quick to adjust when things change

If You're Going For Splash, You'll Also Bring

• An NPQL (National Pool Qualification for Lifeguards) or equivalent qualification
• Previous experience working in a swimming pool environment
• Strong knowledge of pool safety
