What we’ll offer you

First, there’s a competitive salary - £28,000 to £38,000. Plus a discretionary bonus scheme.

While we work hard for our clients, we also recognise the importance of work-life balance.

Benefits include:

• Five weeks holiday
• Regular, funded foodie nights out and team lunches
• Free access to Hospitality Action’s Employee Assistance Programme – run by the industry charity with specific support for mental wellbeing. It’s completely confidential and gives the team access to free personal counselling, managerial advice and a portal full of wellness advice and coaching
• Flexible working: Following consultations with the team, we now work flexibly from all over the UK – from Bristol to Brighton – and 100% of staff now rate our flexible working as ‘very good’/ ‘excellent’. We start between 6am-10am – and finish from 3pm-6:30pm. To keep in touch, we encourage weekly ‘walking meetings’– catching up with team members while out for a walk. We also host regular virtual socials – a Christmas party with an appearance from a goat, Taskmaster challenges, team quizzes and, next up, an action-packed away day by the sea
• Mentoring from a board member and a personal development plan
• Training time – half a day a month built into your working week so you can master new skills, immerse yourself in an industry event or take time to add another string to your bow

How we work

We’re a remote-first business with hubs in Brighton, Bristol and London. Full team meetings are monthly in London, with weekly hub working days at the nearest hub to you. We pay your travel. Please only apply if you are local to a hub and willing to travel to client meetings (likely on a weekly basis).
