Waiter / Waitress - Buxted Park Hotel, Uckfield East Sussex - £13 p/h

Are you looking for Waiting work on a Full Time basis? Do you live locally to Buxted Park Hotel or are you looking for a Live in role?

We have a Full Time Time role available in our waiting team at Buxted Park Hotel.

The role involve working a variety of shifts including earlies from 6.30am to 3pm, Lates from 3pm - 11pm/Midnight and will include weekends as these tend to be the busiest days.

Applicants looking for a Live in position will be required to be fully flexible with regards to the hours and shifts that they can work and split shifts may be required.

You will ideally have some waiting or bar experience but this is not essential, a vibrant personality and a passion for delivering high standards of service is much more important as full training will be given if needed.

You will be an attentive person who can spot in seconds when someone is trying to catch your eye for the bill, whether they’re missing a spoon for their dessert, or if they need a high chair before they even need to ask. You’ll also have a big responsibility for maintaining the safety and well being of our guests, from allergy awareness to standards of cleanliness.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy, then what are you \"Waiting\" for - we would love you to apply!

What’s in it for you:

• All of our waiting team members are paid hourly with any overtime paid
• A share of service charge – 100% of which is split between the team
• Live in accommodation charged at just £60.90 per week all-inclusive of meals and bills
• The opportunity to live and work in a historic property in a stunning location - although due to our location you will need to either live in or have your own transport, as public transport is not an option
• Delicious meals on duty
• 28 days holiday rising to 33 days with service – we think it’s fair to value loyalty.
• £30 staff stays with Hand Picked Hotels per room Bed & Breakfast PLUS 25% discount of all food & drink. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds!
• Annual loyalty awards (like afternoon teas and overnight stays)
• Free parking on site
