What You’ll Do
As an Events Supervisor, you'll enjoy your work and take pride in delighting our guests:
- Support the Events Managers with the day-to-day delivery of events, helping to brief and coordinate the team and ensuring each event is set up and delivered according to the event details and guest requirements.
- During events, support both guests and colleagues, respond to changes or requests and work closely with the kitchen, Events team and other hotel departments to help everything run smoothly.
The items shared are the essence of a day in the life of an Events Supervisor, but we'll make sure you are provided with specifics on how we care for our hotel.
The operational hours of work are shift-based and may be subjected to change. Due to the nature of Events Operations, working hours can vary and may include early starts and late finishes to support the needs of our events and guests.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
