Service charge can be approximately £375-£475 per month (around £4,500 per year) for a full-time employee, in addition to base pay.

The hotel may also offer off-site staff accommodation in our two staffhouses within walking distance of the hotel to help new team members settle into the local area comfortably.

Salary: As part of our team, we value your passion, warmth, and humor to ensure our guests have memorable experiences. We seek friendly, cheerful individuals who enjoy working as part of a team and having fun. We welcome candidates with or without industry experience—what matters most is a positive, engaging personality, self-motivation, and enthusiasm for a lively hotel environment.

For this role, you will need to be a hands-on manager who leads from the front, knowledgeable about food and beverage service, skilled at developing others, and willing to be part of the hotel Duty Management team.
