As the friendly face of our hotel bars, you’ll also be a helpful host, a local expert, and a proud brand ambassador.

• Look after your bar – keep it clean and tidy and make sure the alcohol is always secure.
• Handle cash and credit transactions.
• Look smart – wear your uniform with pride. 
• Be ready to jump into other ad-hoc duties when your colleagues need your help.
• Always follow safety procedures.
