Explore Diverse Job Opportunities
In the world of hospitality, there are plenty of opportunities in a range of varied roles — from front of house or kitchen to administrative or housekeeping. Throughout the industry, there's also a strong emphasis on progression, with plenty of support when it comes to professional development and growth.
At Stonehouse Court Hotel, our hospitality roles range from front-of-house positions, including welcoming and checking in guests, to taking on a bartending position or server role.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer a back-of-house role, we have a range of kitchen-based, housekeeping, and maintenance positions available.
These unique opportunities allow you to explore different areas of the business, helping you find a position that aligns with your skillset and interests.
The Benefits of a Career in Hospitality
Hospitality is a fast-paced environment with plenty of challenges, offering you the chance to build your problem-solving skills, adapt your management style, and learn how to be efficient, practical, and organised.
All of these combined skills will empower you to think quickly and adapt to various situations, ensuring you can effectively handle any challenge that comes your way with ease and proficiency.
