The low down as an Assistant Hotel Manager…

As an Assistant Hotel Manager, you’ll be second in command to the Hotel Manager and an integral part of our vibrant club hotel team. Customer experience is at the centre of everything you do in order to maintain and exceed the high standards within each department of the hotel.

Your previous management experience will give you a keen eye for detail and spot opportunities to maximise business potential. Your daily tasks will range from creating staff rotas, liaising with HR and head office, reporting into management and so much more – no two days will look the same! You’ll also be happy to lead from the front and get your hands dirty when needed with housekeeping duties, restaurant service and any additional support that your team need over the season.
