Warwick Castle is most definitely Britain's Ultimate Castle by day, but we're also the ultimate hospitality and event venue by night! From formal banquets in the Great Hall, to fairy tale weddings, lively themed dinners as well as conferences and team days, our range of events is diverse and we're looking to add to our large team of Evening Hospitality Assistants.
The Role
All our events are themed, and you will wear either period costume (provided) or traditional black and white attire to create the ultimate guest experience. Your role will be to serve food and drink to guests at their tables, clear the tables between courses, replenish drinks, work on the bar and generally interact with our guests. There will also be an element of supporting with setting up the event, and clearing down afterwards.
The atmosphere at most of our events is an experience not to be missed, with music, entertainment, all in keeping with the theme, and you will play a key part in ensuring our guests get an authentic and memorable experience.
The Working Pattern
Positions are offered on fixed term (temporary) contracts of varying lengths.
These are evening positions. Start times are usually between 5.30pm and 7pm, with a finish time of between 11.30pm and 1am depending on the event, however flexibility is required as times may vary.
As the number of events vary throughout the year, these positions are offered on a casual basis, with no guaranteed work pattern. You will be asked to provide your general availability and will then be offered shifts once event dates are confirmed.
The benefits
We offer an hourly rate of pay of £6.31 and once you have completed 6 weeks service, you'll be eligible to receive free entry to all Merlin attractions world-wide, including Alton Towers Resort, Madame Tussauds, Thorpe Park and LEGOLAND.
The Requirements
Above everything you will be a well presented, professional individual, but will combine that with a real sense of fun, a friendly and customer focused approach, and you'll love interacting with people.
Make no mistake these are fast paced jobs, and you'll be on your feet most of the evening, so you'll thrive in a busy environment and enjoy working under pressure!
Full training is given, however previous hospitality experience would be a distinct advantage, and if this experience includes formal banqueting then that would be even better!
Please note that due to evening working hours, and the fact you will be required to serve alcohol, these positions are only suitable for those 18 years old and over.
