Lakeside Park Hotel

RECRUITMENT

Join the team at the Isle of Wight's first purpose built 4 star Hotel  due to open July 2008.

The foundations are laid, the hotel structure is evolving daily, the interior designers are creating an ambience that will represent a luxurious, contemporary lifestyle and everyone involved is feeling the excitement of this being a major asset to the island.

The lake position, 45 ensuite rooms, suites, conference and leisure facilities, brasserie, a la carte restaurant and 17acres of countryside will be a welcome addition to the commercial and tourism industry. BUT we believe the staff at the new Lakeside Park Hotel will be the heart of the business, so we aim to recruit, train and develop the very best people available. Just as we have invested in this prestigious development, we intend to invest in our staff to ensure our guests enjoy a 4 star experience.

We want our staff to enjoy working for the Lakeside Park Hotel and grow as an individual, as our own business grows. If you are interested in joining a dynamic and growing company and have a passion to deliver a high level of customer service supported by a positive attitude, then you could be exactly what we're looking for.

If there isn't a role that exactly meets your current levels of experience, then feel free to contact us and express your interest in working for this exciting new development.

Our workplace code of conduct: "a positive, professional attitude and commitment to customer service and accepting that workplace responsibility is shared by all."
