Taunton, United Kingdom Hestercombe Gardens Full time

Hestercombe is a small but ambitious visitor attraction near Taunton, Somerset. Over the past 30 years, the 50 acre site has been largely restored, and offers around 100,000 visitors per year a chance to learn, explore and relax in its three period gardens.

As a Hospitality Assistant, you'll be a key part of the daily running of our Stables Restaurant, Caffe + Gelato café and the delivery of weddings, functions and events. You'll be expected to work weekends, Bank Holidays and occasional evenings, but no split shifts.

Applicants must have a professional and approachable manner and have the ability to deliver high standards of service in a busy environment. You should be a confident communicator, and be adept at communicating well with the chefs and other members of the team. You'll also help ensure our high standards are met with attention to detail and you'll be part of a team that delivers amazing hospitality to our customers.

**Is the role for me?**

We're looking for people who have at least 1 year of customer service experience; if you happen to have catering or hospitality experience too then that's a bonus.

Hestercombe is an equal opportunities employer and we welcome people from all backgrounds, genders, abilities and ethnicities.

**Good to know**

The Hospitality team is small, friendly, and very welcoming. The same can be said of the wider Hestercombe teams, in Retail, Marketing & Events, Visitor Reception, Finance, Membership and other back office staff. It's a close-knit environment where everybody knows everyone else - we succeed together, and we fail together. In terms of career progression, whilst we don't have a huge team, as we grow our operations (or as you demonstrate exceptional performance), you will hopefully find opportunities to grow here.

**Salary & Contract**

**Salary**: £13,500 per annum
Part-time, 24 hours per week

This is an annualised role so hours worked may vary from month to month but the salary will be paid monthly in 12 equal instalments over the year. You will be expected to work weekends, Bank holidays and limited evenings.

**Other benefits**

Incentives for members of the Hospitality team include a free staff lunch, retail discounts, free parking and free Hestercombe membership ~ plus, you'll have access to the beautiful gardens here to relax in. We also now include a 10% service charge daily, which is paid monthly.

We are keen to help you get to where you want to be, and will provide full training on the job, along with relevant certificates and qualifications where required.

You'll receive the part time equivalent of 23 days' holiday per year (plus bank / religious holidays).
