Banqueting Team Member

JOIN TEAM WOTTON! At Wotton House, we do things a little differently. Set in the beautiful Surrey countryside and surrounded by history, gardens and plenty of character, Wotton House is a hotel where no two days are quite the same. From weddings and celebrations to corporate events and countryside escapes, there's always something happening – and our Banqueting team plays a huge part in creating memorable experiences for our guests.

We're welcoming, creative and proudly a little quirky. Our approach is simple: "Yes – what's the question?" We look for solutions, support one another and aren't afraid to think differently. We're also proud of our Green Key accreditation, our relationships with the local community and our commitment to making more responsible choices.

We're the flamingo in a flock of pigeons. In short? It's Wonderfully Wotton. THE ROLE – BANQUETING ASSISTANT We're looking for a friendly, enthusiastic and energetic Banqueting Assistant to join our Food & Beverage team and help bring a little Wonderfully Wotton magic to every event! From beautiful weddings and special celebrations to corporate dinners, conferences and everything in between, no two days are quite the same in our Banqueting team.

Whether you're serving a delicious three-course wedding breakfast, welcoming guests with a glass of fizz or helping transform one of our event spaces into something truly special, you'll play an important part in creating unforgettable experiences. We're looking for someone who enjoys meeting new people, thrives in a lively environment and loves being part of those special moments that our guests will remember for years to come.

You don't need to know everything about banqueting or events, but a passion for hospitality, a positive attitude and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in are a must! If you love great people, special occasions and being part of a team that makes memorable moments happen, we'd love to hear from you!
