An opportunity has arisen for a Food & Beverage Supervisor to join our Hand Picked Hotels Seasonal Food & Beverage Team. As the Supervisor within the team, you will support your colleagues so they feel confident and ready for service as well as guiding them to ensure all daily tasks are completed on time.
Although taking orders and serving food is of course an important part of the job, this role entails so much more. You and your team will have the opportunity to deliver memorable experiences and to make someone’s day, every day. Whether it’s suggesting the perfect wine to go with Mr. Singh’s fish dish, or remembering that Mrs Hoy’s daughter was due to have a baby, you will make our guests feel welcome and special.
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.
Please note: You do not need to have settled or pre-settled status in the UK. European candidates can apply for visas for up to 6 months at no cost.
What’s in it for you:
- £500 end of season bonus if you stay until the end of contract date agreed
- Hourly pay for all hours worked plus a share of service charge to boost your earnings – 100% of which is split between the team
- Live in accommodation charged at approximately £130 per month all-inclusive of bills
- Working and living on the peaceful island of Alderney
- Holidays which will likely be paid at the end of your seasonal assignment
- A chance to meet new people, make new friends and have a memorable summer seasons work experience within Hand Picked Hotels.
- You’ll have at least two years’ recent experience working as part of a Waiting team with good knowledge of food, beverages and allergens
- You’ll be a team player with a professional approach, bags of enthusiasm and a big smile
- You’ll take pride in your appearance, and proud to be the face of Hand Picked
- You’ll be a stickler for hygiene and be able to demonstrate best practice
- You’ll feel comfortable in a fast-paced, busy environment
- Most of all, you’ll have a friendly, positive and proactive manner
