As an Events & Conference Co-ordinator you will convert enquiries in to bookings, showcasing our venue through showrounds and helping our clients to plan every detail of their event. You will work as part of our busy events planning team, effectively communicating client requirements to our operational team who will then run the events on the day.

In return the role offers £29,870 per annum, plus excellent benefits including a sales incentive scheme, free meals, an annual complimentary stay with dinner at a De Vere Hotel, plus additional stays for just £50 and a paid day off for your birthday, to name just a few!
