Position Overview & Specifications
Due to ongoing success, we are looking for a member of waiting staff to join our friendly and talented team at the magical Fish Hotel, one of our stunning hotels on Farncombe Estate in the Cotswolds. With gorgeous woodland views, quirky and unique accommodation (think luxury treehouses and Scandi-style shepherd's huts), cosy spots to relax next to our beautiful fireplaces, and award winning dining by our outstanding chef team, your time working with us will be something to truly remember.
We're looking for a hardworking and enthusiastic team member who thrives on hosting guests and making their time with us memorable. The ideal person loves great food and drinks, and wants to develop a career in the hospitality industry. The hours are mainly evenings and weekends, working 40 hours per week over 5 days.
We offer a great hourly rate of £11 per hour, plus a share of service charge (around £2000-£2,500 per year paid monthly).
We've been in Caterer's Best 30 Places to Work in Hospitality for 4 years in a row and love creating career opportunities for our team - our 600 acre Estate of three award-winning hotels (including Foxhill Manor and Dormy House) is the perfect place to develop and learn.
We also offer a raft of excellent benefits including:
- 30 days holiday per year (rising to 35 after 5 years)
- Enhanced pension
- Critical illness cover
- Premium payments when working at Christmas/New Year
- Access to mental health first aiders and an employee assistance programme from Hospitality Action
- High Street discounts via Hospitality Rewards
- A special birthday lunch in the hotel, on the house
- Estate discounts on dining, stays, wine, spa products and more
- £1000 when you successfully refer a friend
- Long service gifts
- A healthcare cash plan
- Access to apprenticeships up to degree level qualification
- Free financial advice
Due to our rural location, you will require your own transport (WR12 7LJ), alternatively we do have a shuttle from Evesham.
If this sounds like your ideal next move, and you would like to discuss this role or any other opportunities on our 600 acre estate, then please apply or send over your CV to vanessa.parkes@farncombe.life
