* You’ll enjoy being around people, and because hospitality moves quickly, you’ll stay calm when things get busy and keep a smile on your face even when juggling a few different tasks.
* You’ll be comfortable speaking with guests and colleagues from all walks of life, and you’ll bring curiosity and enthusiasm to learn something new every day.
* If you’re studying hospitality or a related subject and want to build confidence and real experience, you’ll get a lot out of this year with us.
* You must be able to join the scheme from September 2025. Based on your preference, the placement can last 9–12 months. Further details will be discussed during the interview process.
