What We’re Looking For
- Experience in hospitality, with some leadership or coordination responsibilities desirable
- Ideally some event planning experience (formal qualifications not required)
- Proficient with Word, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, finance systems, POS systems
- A people person: Upbeat, approachable, and solution-focused
- Highly organised with the ability to juggle multiple tasks and deadlines
