What will you be doing?

As a Food and Beverage Assistant, you'll play an important role in ensuring every guest receives a warm welcome and an excellent experience.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the smooth running of our food and beverage operations
• Taking pride in delivering excellent customer service

Previous experience in a customer-facing or hospitality role would be an advantage, but it isn't essential — full training will be provided for the right person.

Could this be your next opportunity?

If you're looking for a role where no two days are the same, where you can meet great people, develop your skills and be part of a team that genuinely cares about creating memorable experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and start your journey with New Forest Hotels!
