Job Title: General Assistant – Weddings & Events (Full-Time)
About Us
We are a family-owned and run wedding venue with a small, dedicated team. Our focus is on delivering exceptional service and creating unforgettable memories for our couples and their guests. We are now looking for a hardworking and enthusiastic General Assistant to join our busy wedding team.
About the Role
This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. The successful candidate will play a vital part in ensuring our weddings and events run smoothly from start to finish. Responsibilities include:
* Bar & Guest Service: Serving drinks, manning the bar, and looking after guests during their stay (including pre-wedding gatherings such as the night before the big day).
* Housekeeping & Cleaning: Helping with venue turnaround between events, often within tight timescales, and maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness throughout.
* Event Setup: Assisting with venue preparations, including setting up for weddings, open days, conferences, workshops, and private gatherings.
* Guest Care: Anticipating the needs of guests and ensuring they are well looked after at all times.
* Team Support: Working alongside colleagues and suppliers to deliver a seamless experience for every couple and guest.
What We're Looking For
* An interest in weddings and events
* Experience in hospitality, bar work, or housekeeping (preferred but not essential – training provided)
* A smart, professional, and courteous approach, with excellent attention to detail
* A positive "can do" attitude and willingness to pitch in wherever needed
* Strong communication and teamwork skills
* Flexibility to work shifts, including evenings and weekends
* A full, clean driving licence (due to our rural location and potential need to drive)
* Ability to commute – please note we do not provide on-site accommodation
Why Join Us?
* Be part of a supportive, close-knit team in a beautiful venue
* Gain experience working across all aspects of a successful wedding and events business
* Work alongside excellent suppliers and industry professionals
* Opportunity to make a real difference to one of the most important days in people's lives
If you have strengths in either bar work or housekeeping (but not both), please still apply – we can provide training in other areas.
