WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We value attitude, commitment and learning ability as much as experience.

- Coachable and open to feedback
- A confident and effective communicator
- Good at building professional relationships
- Comfortable taking ownership and responsibility
- Adaptable to the dynamic nature of hospitality

THIS ROLE REQUIRES COMMITMENT

Hospitality is not a conventional 9-to-5 industry. Guest requirements, enquiries, reservations and business opportunities can arise at different times.

We are looking for someone who understands the importance of flexibility, ownership and commitment.

If you are looking for a position where you simply complete your working hours, this may not be the right opportunity.

If you are looking for an opportunity to learn, take responsibility, build your skills and grow alongside a growing hospitality business, we would like to hear from you.

Pay: ₹12,000.00 - ₹30,000.00 per month
