  • Support the team during busy periods by assisting with basic front-of-house duties as needed;
  • Provide guests with information about the menu, specials, and venue facilities when required;
  • Represent the venue positively and uphold brand values at all times.


About You

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Previous experience in a hospitality front-of-house role (host, receptionist or similar preferred);
  • A friendly, approachable personality with excellent communication skills;
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to multitask effectively;
  • Confidence working in a fast-paced environment, remaining calm under pressure;
  • A team-player attitude with a flexible and proactive approach;
  • A genuine passion for delivering outstanding customer service;
  • A professional appearance and attitude.
