ABOUT THE ALBION

The Albion is a welcoming and characterful Noble Inns venue, bringing together great food, quality drinks and genuine hospitality in a relaxed and vibrant setting.

At The Albion, we want our guests to feel comfortable, welcomed and genuinely looked after.

• Assist with opening and closing duties where required.
• Support and develop other members of the team when appropriate.
