We're looking for an enthusiastic Part Time Hospitality Assistant to join the opening team at Yarrow, our brand new restaurant in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

Yarrow is a fresh dining destination, open to both the public and our retirement village residents, serving great food and genuine hospitality in a stylish, welcoming setting. This is a fantastic opportunity to help launch a new restaurant, working alongside a passionate team dedicated to creating memorable experiences for every guest.

Alongside a competitive salary plus Tronc payments, you'll enjoy a better work-life balance than many traditional hospitality roles, thanks to our more sociable opening hours. Whether you're looking for a role that fits around other commitments or want to build your career in hospitality, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

  • Delivering friendly, attentive service to every guest from arrival through to departure.
  • Taking food and drink orders and serving meals and beverages to a high standard.
  • Preparing and maintaining restaurant and bar areas, ensuring they are clean, organised and ready for service.
  • Handling payments accurately and confidently using our till systems.
  • Building positive relationships with residents, visitors and members of the public.
  • Supporting the team during busy service periods to ensure a seamless guest experience.
  • Maintaining high standards of cleanliness, food hygiene and health & safety.
  • Working collaboratively with the kitchen and front of house teams to deliver exceptional hospitality.

What we're looking for

  • A genuine passion for hospitality and delivering excellent customer service.
  • Previous hospitality or customer service experience is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided.
  • A friendly, positive and professional attitude.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a team.
  • A willingness to learn and develop.
  • Flexibility to work a rota that includes some evenings and weekends.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary plus Tronc payments.
  • Flexible part time hours.
  • A great work-life balance with more sociable opening hours than many hospitality venues.
  • Medicash healthcare plan.
  • Pension scheme.
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata).
  • Birthday leave.
  • Reward and recognition schemes.
  • Paid volunteering days.
  • Ongoing training and development opportunities.
  • The opportunity to be part of an exciting new restaurant from the very beginning.
