Job description
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 Food & Beverage 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 – BREAKFAST ASSISTANT We're looking for a friendly, enthusiastic and energetic Breakfast Assistant to join our Food & Beverage team and help our guests start their day the Wonderfully Wotton way! They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and we couldn't agree more!
Whether it's serving that all-important morning coffee, welcoming guests with a smile or making sure our breakfast buffet looks its very best, you'll play a huge part in creating a fantastic first impression. Our mornings can be wonderfully varied, from guests enjoying a leisurely countryside escape to wedding parties sharing stories from the night before and business guests getting ready for a busy day ahead.
We're looking for someone who loves meeting new people, enjoys being part of a team and knows that sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference. You don't need to be a morning person who jumps out of bed singing (although we won't stop you!), but a positive attitude, a passion for hospitality and a willingness to get stuck in are a must!
