The Opportunity

The Brownsword Group have created arguably the most iconic collection of historic countryside and city centre hotels, all wonderful properties set within beautiful grounds and cities, all with their own stories to share. Generosity, quality and welcoming hospitality is what they do very well. Being exceptional hoteliers has been the core of the operation, creating a successful hospitality business.

Role: We are looking for an office administrator, someone who is a great host, has great attention to detail and is brilliant at admin and with IT.

  Managing our central email account, coordinating responses and helping to deliver quick and articulate answers to those raising queries

• Performing research activities and preparing reports.
• Organising itineraries including travel and corporate events.

• Be great at using Microsoft Office and web- based systems

• To be articulate, with great writing skills with fantastic spelling, grammar and tone of voice.
• Be comfortable working on tasks by yourself, whilst being part of a wider team.
