About The hotel; Five star Cornwall, not formal
Are we right for
you?
This privately owned business will expect
a lot, but we’ll give a lot to get the right people and you will be supported
both internally and externally by a great team who aspire to the same goals as
yourself. There are four main things we look for;
1. We want someone with bags of
character. We don’t want you to hide your personality when you’re at work, we
want you to feel comfortable, to be who you are. We want our guests to visit
not only for the destination and of course the incredible food, but for you as
their host.
2. You’ve got to like being around
others, smiling and chatting because you like people. You’re confident around
your guests, but also confident in leading and coaching your team to do the
same.
3. We need extra milers. So if you
think the job description is all you have to do, then we’re not for you.
4. You have to put your heart into
it. When you tell a guest or team member you’re happy to help, you have to mean
it.
And now for the
good stuff...
