We have the new Great Room, a new ballroom with a capacity of 900 sit down and 1400 theatre style. We are looking for someone to assist our Banquet Manager in the running of functions and managing a team of over 40 colleagues. Can you lead with passion, drive, commitment and vision?
Your passion is for food and beverage service and you want to work with the best. You are excited by the challenge that comes with a brand new function space where you create a unique experience for your guests.
Having an extensive background in banqueting, you know how things are usually done but look forward to creating something new too! Your background may include time working with restaurants however; your experience in hotels and functions stands out.
You know how to motivate, lead and drive a diverse team with irregular hours, with the goal being to ensure your guests are expertly catered for. You can also think outside the box as this is a banquets department like nothing you have experienced.
With the ability to think on your feet, you understand that attention to detail is key as the slightest thing out of alignment could send an event organiser into a tail spin. Your experience and commitment to service standards encourage and support your team to provide enhanced service standards to achieve their goals and ours.
It goes without saying that your communication skills, both written and spoken are second to none and that you maintain an immaculate level of personal grooming. You can get your way around the Microsoft Office package like an expert and have no fear of databases and spreadsheets. Your time management skills allow you to move from task to task with ease.
In return for your skills and long term commitment to the hotel, we offer a competitive salary with unique development opportunities. Our benefits include complimentary medical cover, duty meals and discounts on food, beverage and accommodation. We will offer you an above market salary with great development opportunities.
Please note that your application should include a photograph of yourself taken within the last three months and to ensure our recruitment process is as efficient as possible, please include your current referee details with your application as we may contact your referees during the initial stages of the recruitment process.
In line with our environmental policy we will only be accepting online applications.
