Approaching every situation with an initiative-taking approachable and caring manner, you are the true essence of what we are about. In this characterful role you thrive on interacting with people, offering support with any issues or requests to ensure our guests have a comfortable stay and a good night’s rest.

As Overnight Ambassador you play a particularly vital role, working in various areas of the castle, you need to imagine the castle is your home and you are ‘hosting friends and family in your home.’ Whether it is a late-night supper and drinks or early morning coffee and breakfast, as ambassador you look after them.

You ensure all our castle suites are prepared welcoming a good nights’ rest and sleep, cosy, warm and comfortable. Our guests have everything they need for the night ahead while making sure that the public areas are clean and tidy and kept to the exceptional standards associated with our club.

Keeping our incredible building and facilities safe and secure are an intrinsic part of the night shift, walking corridors at the designated times and being aware of any situations. Quick thinking and pre-empting before they happen.

Or if all is quiet you may have a couple of ‘Knights’ keeping you company...you never know they may just offer you some pearls of wisdom in the twilight hours.
