Location: Set on a North Devon cliff top with an area of outstanding natural beauty wrapped around the hotel…. beauty that makes time stand still and provides a stunning backdrop whilst you ensure our guests receive customer service that matches the view! Sandy Cove North Devon Hotel prides itself on having its own private, secluded beach and is within a short drive of other amazing beaches around the Atlantic coastline. With ever changing seasons there is always a great reason for guests to visit Sandy Cove, ensuring our team are busy all year round.
With our 3 Rosette, Michelin recommended Seacliff restaurant, or our more family-oriented dining option of the Cove restaurant, and our stunning wedding venue, the expectations and standards we set ourselves are high – can you match them? Alongside with arguably, North Devon’s best wedding venue, our stunning new Spa facilities and 38 en-suite bedrooms, many of which have a beautiful sea view, we’re looking for a team member who will add to the Sandy Cove magic and reflect the 4* status that our guests have rightly come to expect.
Hours: This is a salaried all year round appointment (40hrs pw). We host weddings and events up to 7 days a week in the summer months, the successful candidate will be expected to work 5 days from 7, including most Bank Holidays so a flexible and committed individual is required. You'll be working mainly weekends and some evenings, but not all of as we want you to have a social life too! Let’s talk about how we can make this work for both of us!
The Person: Our team members don’t just look the part, they live the part! A “can do” attitude is something you have within you, the desire, the passion to create memories for our guests! You are a leader, a team player and you're comfortable with working alongside colleagues to ensure the job gets done first time, every time. Your humour, cheerful, warm and friendly outlook shines through at every opportunity. Above everything else, a positive and infectious personality is key.
