Job description

Location: Located in the picturesque village of Amberley in the beautiful West Sussex countryside, Amberley Castle is a unique luxury hotel steeped in over 900 years of history. With 4 AA red stars, 3 AA rosettes, and a member of Relais & Châteaux, Amberley Castle gives our team the chance to work in a castle with quality and style.
Amberley Castle is open Wednesday to Sunday each week- which means for most employees they are guaranteed Monday and Tuesday off each week.
SERVICE CHARGE-We pay our team service charge each month! This service charge all goes into one pot, and 100% of that service charge is then shared amongst all the team at the hotel-every penny received is paid out to the team.
Service charge can be in the region of £275-£325 a month (close to £4000 per year) over and above base pay for a full time employee.
The hotel may also be able to offer off-site staff accommodation in our 2 staff houses (within walking distance to the hotel) in order to help the newest members of the team to re-locate, so they can settle into life at the hotel and local area in comfort.
