Great hospitality is about more than good service. It's about creating experiences guests remember. At Smiths Hotel, our Food & Beverage team plays a huge part in that, from relaxed breakfasts and evening dining to weddings, celebrations and large-scale events.

Working closely with our Senior Food & Beverage Manager, you will help lead service, support the wider operation, and deliver exceptional guest experiences every day.
This is a hands on leadership role based primarily at Smiths Hotel.

- Lead from the front
- Stay calm under pressure
- Enjoy the pace of hospitality
- Take pride in high standards
- Know how to motivate a team
Experience within hotel operations, weddings or events would be beneficial.
