Your focus is to deliver the highest professional standards of service for our customers across a brilliant variety of events, from corporate conferences to big celebrations. You are a critical part of the Events team, and we quite literally cannot do it without you. You will achieve this by greeting guests with absolute confidence and professionalism, making sure they are safe, looked after, and genuinely loving their visit to Village.

At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers. Previous experience is great, but your attitude and energy matter much more to us. If you are friendly, positive, love working with people, and enjoy being part of a busy team, we will give you all the support, training, and opportunities you need.

We live our culture through four simple commitments:

  • We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work every day, with purpose. We welcome change, support the management team, and actively contribute to developing a vibrant shift culture.
  • We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best, look out for each other, and work together as true team players to maximize our success and profitability.
  • We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other. We look to WOW our conference and banqueting guests with our enthusiasm and sharp attention to detail from the moment they arrive until we say farewell.

As our Meetings & Events Team Member, you are the engine of the floor. We trust you to handle:

  • Space & Standards: Setting up and servicing our meeting and event spaces to exact specifications and brand standards, always keeping a keen eye for detail.
  • Tech Savvy Operations: Getting confident with our tech to operate AV equipment safely, efficiently, and smoothly for our clients during presentations and events.
  • Food & Drink Flare: Serving up refreshments, meals, and drinks with confidence and flare, utilizing your product knowledge to spot upselling opportunities at every turn.
  • Pride in the House: Keeping our spaces organized by ensuring all event equipment is stored away correctly and safely after a busy shift.
  • Shift Safety: Participating in full compliance with Health and Safety, Fire Regulations, Food Safety, and Licensing laws to keep a safe environment for everyone.

We do not micromanage. It takes a village, so we believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to manage your tasks on the floor and meet your personal objectives. We Empower & Elevate our people. If you want Room to Grow, we provide funded qualifications, regular 1:1 performance check-ins, and clear action plans to map out your progression. We constantly Innovate & Progress so we can Inspire Excellence and smash our event targets together.
