What you’ll be doing?

This role is perfect role for someone who thrives in a busy office environment, has the ability to build natural rapport and is a genuine people person.

As a Wedding and Events manager, you’ll organise conference, weddings and events from initial enquiry through to the day of the event.

• A quick self-learner, with a pro-active calculated ‘give it a go’ attitude; equally someone who is resilient and recovers well when met with challenges;
• Strong IT and admin skills are essential
• Experience of Hart PMS is beneficial but not essential.
