What we can offer you:

• A flexible working pattern supporting a healthy work–life balance, with employment across 41 weeks of the year
• Closure over the Christmas period
• An industry-leading pension scheme
• Personal development and training opportunities within hospitality and catering
• An inclusive and welcoming working environment — we encourage applications from all diversity groups
Please note that as part of our commitment to safeguarding our students, our background screening checks include limited online searches. Online searches will only be undertaken in respect of the successful candidate, as a pre-conditional term of our job offer.
