Hospitality

Summer is traditionally the busiest time of the year with visitors coming to holiday and dine in our region. You will be helping guests to their tables, welcoming them, taking their orders, serving their food and drinks and managing customer queries. Front of house roles include hosts, wait staff, bar staff, barista etc. You should be outgoing, personable, and able to manage tricky customer questions, and work through a busy service.

What you'll need to bring to the role

Almost all roles involve working with customers and a crew of people so being well presented, personable and working well with a team is a must. Most of the skills required in this industry are trainable so you just need to be willing to learn.

What you'll get out of it

The jobs will come with on-the-job training and there are many opportunities to progress by completing a formal qualification – e.g. barista certificate, cookery qualifications, food and beverage service certificates, hospitality management qualification –  and these skills and experience will open opportunities to travel and work anywhere.
