Do you have the gift of the gab, a flair for organisation, and a love for creating brilliant guest experiences? We’re looking for a Sales & Reservations Assistant who can charm guests from the first “hello” to the final “cheers!” This isn’t your average desk job. You’ll be at the heart of the action – the person who turns enquiries into bookings, and bookings into buzz. Think of yourself as part matchmaker, part memory-maker, part smooth operator. What you’ll be doing (aka your superpowers): Being the first friendly voice our guests hear – whether it’s a quick table booking or a big group celebration. Handling enquiries with speed, sparkle, and spot-on accuracy. Working closely with our management and events team to keep diaries full and guests grinning. Upselling like a pro – because why book just a table when you could book a whole experience? Keeping systems tidy, details sharp, and communication flowing. What we’re looking for (aka your vibe): Confident, chatty, and warm – people just like talking to you. Organised with an eagle eye for detail (you’ll never confuse a table for 4 with a table for 40). Sales-savvy – you enjoy hitting goals and celebrating wins. A team player who knows how to have fun while keeping things professional. Experience in hospitality, events, or reservations is a bonus, but we’ll happily train the right personality. What’s in it for you (aka the perks): A buzzing workplace where no two days are the same. Training and support to help you shine and grow. A team that celebrates wins, birthdays, and everything in between. Competitive pay plus staff perks and discounts. So, if you’re ready to turn enquiries into excitement and make every guest feel like a VIP, we’d love to hear from you.
