- Be friendly, enthusiastic and enjoy meeting new people.
- Be conscientious, dependable, and able to work unsupervised and use your initiative.
- Be a team-player and enjoy working alongside colleagues in what can be a fast-paced environment.
- Ideally have some experience in a venue such as a guest house or hotel, but if not don't worry – our team will be happy to help you with your training.
- Be willing to learn and take direction.
- Essential for this role is clear and legible handwriting, the flexibility to work varying shifts, and a full, clean driving license.
