Functions & Events Assistants

Port Lympne Reserve and Howletts Wild Animal Park are world class wildlife parks and established visitor attractions run by the international animal conservation charity; The Aspinall Foundation. The Mansion house, located in the unique and beautiful setting of Port Lympne Reserve was converted to a four star Mansion Hotel and currently has six exquisite rooms with plans for further expansion.

We require part time staff for our meetings and events department to serve customers food and drinks for all functions including weddings, corporate events, business conferences, VIP parties and Charity Balls etc.

Applicants must be literate, numerate, well presented and motivated individuals who will provide an exceptional level of service to our guests. You must be enthusiastic and passionate about delivering great customer service and have the confidence to use your own initiative when needed.

The ideal candidate will have previous customer service and hospitality experience in a similar environment; however this is not essential, as full training will be provided. This is a customer service focused role that requires the job holder to have good interpersonal skills and the motivation to provide an exceptional experience to all our guests.

Applicants must be willing to work variable flexible hours in a fast paced, high volume, demanding hospitality environment. Hours will be allocated in advance on a rota basis; as the majority of events take place on weekends applicants must be available for weekend work although shifts will also include weekdays and bank holidays.

Due to the location all applicants must have their own personal transport as public transport is limited.

All applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
