Conference & Banqueting Supervisor - Chilston Park Hotel, Lenham Kent

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and charming Conference & Banqueting Supervisor to join our team at Chilston Park Hotel. If you enjoy working as part of the Hotel operation and turning someone’s dream event into a reality, this is the role for you.

This role will involve supporting all areas of the Food & Beverage department such as the restaurant, bar and room service as required but your main focus area will be Conference & Banqueting.

Whether it’s a conference, private dining event or a wedding  you’ll take the reins and oversee the event from start to finish (including the all-important set up and clear downs), while always keeping a cool head. The ecstatic faces of our guests as they “thank you for all your help!” will be a regular highlight to your working week.

Of course, this requires a lot of skill and dedication, so you will have incredible organisational skills and attention to detail, along with stamina and the ability to remain calm under pressure. Sound like a challenge you’d like to take on? Then we’d love to hear from you.

 What’s in it for you:

  • A competitive salary
  • Live in accommodation charged at just £58.52 per week all inclusive of meals and bills
  • 28 days holiday rising to 33 days with service – we think it’s fair to value loyalty.
  • £30 staff stays with Hand Picked Hotels per room Bed & Breakfast PLUS discounted food, drink and spa treatments. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds!
  • A share of service charge – 100% of which is split between the team
  • Annual loyalty awards (like afternoon teas and overnight stays)
  • Working in stunning surroundings and in a property packed with character
  • Free parking on site
  • Online retail discount platform offering thousands of savings with high street retailers and restaurants as well as a health and well-being platform
  • Pension & Life Assurance Scheme
  • Training & Development to include Hand Picked People management training courses such as Behavioural Interviewing and Appraisal skills and the option to complete a Level 5 Management apprenticeship

About you:

  • You’ll have previous experience working in a Hotel conference & banqueting team and working as part of the weddings team
  • You’ll be motivated by delivering the best events for our guests
  • You’ll have experience of working in a fast-paced, busy environment
  • You’ll be excellent at building a rapport with colleagues and guests and be able to motivate others
  • Most of all, you’ll have a professional, organised and friendly approach
