• Be BRAVE – take ownership and make a difference
• Be a TEAM – collaborate and support one another

• 28 days' holiday per year, plus a duvet day on your birthday for contracted roles
• Stylish uniform provided
• Fantastic training and career development opportunities
• Free staff parking
• Perkbox benefits
• Discounts at our sister resort in Cyprus
• The opportunity to work as part of a friendly and supportive team

What will you be doing?

As a Food and Beverage Assistant , you'll play an important role in ensuring every guest receives a warm welcome and an excellent experience.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing friendly and professional service to our guests
• Supporting the smooth running of our food and beverage operations
• Taking pride in delivering excellent customer service
• Following food hygiene, safety and allergen procedures
• Working closely with your colleagues to create a positive and welcoming atmosphere

What are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who is:

• Friendly, approachable and enthusiastic
• Passionate about delivering excellent customer service
• A confident communicator who enjoys working with people
• Professional, reliable and able to work as part of a team
• Willing to learn and develop new skills

Previous experience in a customer-facing or hospitality role would be an advantage, but it isn't essential — full training will be provided for the right person.

Due to the location of our venues and limited public transport links, you will need to have your own reliable transport and be able to travel to and from work for a variety of shift patterns.

Could this be your next opportunity?

If you're looking for a role where no two days are the same, where you can meet great people, develop your skills and be part of a team that genuinely cares about creating memorable experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

Please ensure you are familiar with the location of the venue and have considered how you will travel to and from work before applying, as our venues are in remote locations and public transport links are limited.

Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we are unable to respond to every applicant individually. If you have not heard from us within two weeks of submitting your application, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion.
