Sales & Events Co-ordinator

Sales & Events Co-ordinator – Ettington Park Hotel, Stratford upon Avon

An opportunity has become available for a Sales & Events Co-ordinator to join our Hand Picked team at Ettington Park Hotel. If helping someone to plan and organise every little detail of a wedding or event is your idea of the perfect job, this is the role for you.

Ettington Park Hotel is a popular wedding and events venue and we are ideally looking for someone with experience in a similar role or an events management qualification.

This is a full time role working 40 hours per week over 5 days, 9am - 5:30pm, to include weekend work on a rota basis. 

You will be the ultimate people person who enjoys building positive relationships with everyone you meet, giving them faith and confidence in your knowledge and event organisation abilities from the very first conversation.

You are also sales focused and enjoy making recommendations to meet the needs of your clients and their budgets. Whether it's a wedding, private dinner or a big birthday bash, you'll take the reins and help to plan the event from start to finish.

The fantastic feedback you receive and clients saying "Thank you for all your help!" will motivate you and be a regular highlight to your working week.

What's in it for you:

• A share of service charge - 100% of which is split between the team
• Staff meals on duty provided

• Pension & Life Assurance Scheme

• You will have high standards of personal presentation
• You have the ability to establish rapport and deliver high standards of service with a genuine and approachable manner
