ABOUT US
University Arms is a 192-bedroom design-led Hotel situated in the heart of Cambridge, United Kingdom. Overlooking Parker’s Piece is the Hotel’s quintessentially British Restaurant and Bar, Parker’s Tavern, Library Lounge and beautiful wood-panelled Ballroom.
Opened in 1834 as a Coaching Inn, University Arms is Cambridge’s oldest Hotel. For 180 years, the Hotel was added to, updated and modernised in line with the age; however, it was the reopening in 2018 after a four-year £80m full renovation that really positioned the Hotel. It is now Cambridge's go-to destination, alluring visitors with the promise of a sense of modern luxury.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a very hands-on role, out on the floor, enhancing our guest's experience, including a certain aspect of physical moving and lifting to set up the rooms. We believe in flexibility and multi-skilling, and you may be asked to do different tasks from time to time to enable us to meet the needs of our guests.
What Are We Looking For In You
- A friendly, positive, and professional attitude.
- Strong communication and customer service skills.
- Ability to work well under pressure and as part of a team.
- Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays depending on event schedules.
- Previous experience in events, hospitality, or F&B service is desirable but not essential—training will be provided.
- Have excellent communication skills and strong attention to detail.
- Having a reliable method of transportation to the hotel is essential – we have no on-site parking.
