4 weeks ago

Chesham, United Kingdom De Vere Full time

IND01

**De Vere Latimer Estate**:
Latimer Estate is full of history, and has a reputation for being a “secret home” of Britain when it was a top secret centre for military intelligence in World War II. But it’s no secret now that working at Latimer Estate means career opportunities, training and development as we offer a fantastic range of roles in our newly refurbished hotel. Working with a diverse range of clients and guests means we regularly have opportunities in departments such as conference, events & banqueting, bars & restaurants, reception, weddings, housekeeping, and grounds and maintenance to name a few.

Our team at Latimer Estate has a strong of mission and purpose, and we know how to say thank you to our colleagues for working hard: ice creams in hot weather, afternoon tea treats for teams and Easter family parties are just some of the ways we show our appreciation. We also offer subsidised transport to the surrounding area, including Chalfont and Latimer station, making us accessible from Hemel Hempstead, Watford and High Wycombe.

**Wedding & Special Events Co-ordinator**:
**What is the main purpose of the role?**

In this key role for our business, your responsibility will be to effectively handle and convert wedding and social enquiries from initial stages through to final details, followed by the accurate communication of client requirements to the Operational team prior to the event itself.

You will ensure customers’ expectations are met and exceeded, in turn supporting the achievement of the property’s budget and targets.

A key part of this role is to conduct show rounds for Weddings and Special Events, ensuring that correct information is given to the appropriate enquiry. You will also assist with organisation of Wedding Showcases to highlight the property to the local wedding and banqueting market.

To be successful in this role, experience of working in a similar role previously, ideally within a 4* quality hotel/events centre, is essential.

We are looking for a customer focussed individual with the ability to work under pressure whilst maintaining a positive, can do attitude. You will need excellent organisation and time management skills with an eye for detail and the ability to use your own initiative.

Communication skills are key, allowing you to build strong and effective working relationships across the business and to create a rapport with guests.

You will be IT literate and it would be advantageous for you to have some knowledge of Opera.

**Benefits**:
At De Vere we pay attention to the thoughtful details that inspire the loyalty of our permanent colleagues.

That’s why we are proud to offer the following benefits for the role of Wedding & Special Events Co-ordinator.
