Be part of the Family
We’re a family business through and through – family owned since 1868, family run and with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small, but all offer fantastic food and drink, cozy beds and a wealth of things to do.
We offer an expansive range of benefits to help you make the most of life outside of work, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels heard and valued.
We treat our guests like family, and we support our people the same way. If you’re someone who lives our values of Be Creative, Be Curious, Be Thoughtful, Be Positive and Be You, you’ll fit right in.
Crieff Hydro Hotel
In the heart of Scotland, we’re set in a 900 acre estate in stunning Perthshire. A home from home, we’ve been welcoming generations of families for 150 years. We have 215 hotel bedrooms, 55 self-catering lodges, 6 restaurants and over 60 onsite activities – including a spa, leisure centre, horse-riding centre and our famously exciting Action Glen. There really is something for everyone!
About the role
At Crieff Hydro, we’re searching for a Banqueting & Events Host to be the welcoming face of our conferences and events, and ensuring every organiser and guest has a seamless and memorable experience.
As a B&E Host, you will welcome conference organisers and guests, making sure their arrival is smooth and their expectations are understood from the outset. You’ll take the lead on preparing event spaces in the morning, coordinating details such as lunches and schedules and ensuring everything is ready for the day ahead.
Throughout the event, you will act as a key point of contact, supporting organisers while working closely with the wider B&E team to deliver a high-quality experience. You’ll monitor service and presentation standards, ensuring guest expectations are consistently met and maintained at a high level.
