Be Yourself - Be a Bold Team Player – Be Leonardo 

As a Conference & Banqueting Assistant you’ll be a face of the hotel, so we want you to bring your warm and friendly personality to work with you every day. Take a deep breath because you’ll be stepping into a busy role! This is a hands-on position within the M&E department; with great attention to detail you’ll be setting up, refreshing and clearing rooms to the high Leonardo standard! You’ll work as part of a vibrant team to ensure all guests have a first-class experience with us. 

If you’re our ideal Conference & Banqueting Assistant, you will: 

  • Be yourself! 
  • Think on your feet to meet clients’ needs- a great can-do attitude is spot on! 
  • Have great communication skills: you’ll be greeting organisers, ensuring guests’ needs are met and working with others to achieve the department’s KPIs
  • Be self-motivated and comfortable working alone at times 
  • Work well in a team during large events
  • Be AV savvy to support organisers with the set-up of their event (desirable)

We look after our colleagues just as well as we look after our guests. Once you’re part of the team, you’re part of the Leonardo community. We have support on tap, so expect top-notch L&D programmes, practical training and clear progression within our vibrant and dynamic team.
