Food and Beverage Assistant Ilfracombe, England
Job description
Location: Set on a North Devon cliff top with an area of outstanding natural beauty wrapped around the hotel…. beauty that makes time stand still and provides a stunning backdrop whilst you ensure our guests receive customer service that matches the view! Sandy Cove North Devon Hotel is located next to the stunning & secluded Broadsands Beach and within a short drive from other amazing beaches of the Atlantic coastline. With ever changing seasons there is always a great reason for guests to visit Sandy Cove, ensuring our team are busy all year round.
With our 3 Rosette, Michelin recommended Seacliff restaurant, or our more family-oriented dining option of the Cove restaurant, the expectations and standards we set ourselves are high – can you match them? Alongside with arguably, North Devon’s best wedding venue, our stunning indoor pool, leisure facilities and 38 en-suite bedrooms, many of which have a stunning sea view, we’re looking for team members who will add to the Sandy Cove magic and reflect the 4* status that our guests have rightly come to expect.
Hours: Full & part time available, we are flexible and want work to fit your plans too, so let’s talk about how we can make this work for both of us!
The Person: Our team members don’t just look the part, they live the part! A “can do” attitude is something you have within you, the desire, the passion to create memories for our guests! You are a team player and comfortable with working alongside colleagues to ensure the job gets done first time, every time. Your humour, cheerful, warm and friendly outlook shines through at every opportunity. We are more than happy to welcome people new to the industry…we even encourage it and we equally value those team members who have previous experience. Above everything else, a positive and infectious personality is key.
