From moving furniture and setting up rooms to supporting events as they run, you’ll be part of a busy team where no two days are the same.

* Provide a warm, professional and helpful service to clients, organisers and guests when required.


* Ensure all equipment is handled safely and report any issues or damage promptly.


* Maintain high standards of health & safety and follow hotel procedures at all times.


* Support the wider hotel team wherever required during busy periods.

What we’re looking for


* Previous experience in Conference & Events, Banqueting, hospitality or a similar hands-on environment would be an advantage.


* A practical, proactive approach and willingness to get stuck in.


* Good organisation and time-management skills.


* Strong attention to detail and pride in delivering high standards.


* Someone who works well as part of a team and is happy to support colleagues.


* Good communication skills and a professional approach to guests and colleagues.


* Physically fit and comfortable with a role that involves moving furniture and equipment.


* Someone who stays calm and flexible in a busy environment.


* Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and public holidays as required.

If you’re practical, reliable and enjoy working behind the scenes to help create fantastic events, we’d love to hear from you.
