If you enjoy variety, love meeting people, and take pride in creating great guest experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

Deliver Great Food & Beverage Experiences

Prepare, replenish and maintain our buffet breakfast, serve drinks from the bar, prepare items from our snack menu, and ensure every guest enjoys friendly, efficient service throughout the day.

Be There for Our Guests

You'll spend much of your day interacting with guests, answering questions, fulfilling requests, recommending local attractions, and helping create memorable stays. Whether it's providing extra amenities, assisting with a room request, or simply sharing a friendly conversation, you'll be an important part of the guest experience.

Keep Our Spaces Looking Their Best

Take pride in maintaining clean, well-presented breakfast, bar, and lounge areas. You'll ensure service stations are stocked, tables are cleared, and public spaces remain inviting for guests throughout the day.

Support Guest Requests

Work closely with Reception and Housekeeping to deliver guest amenities, assist with room requests, and respond quickly to guest needs, helping ensure every stay is seamless.

Thrive in a Fast-Paced Environment

Every shift is different. You could be setting up breakfast, serving coffee and cocktails, preparing snacks, restocking supplies, assisting with guest enquiries, delivering room requests, or preparing the bar for evening service.

Work as One Team

Support colleagues across departments whenever needed, helping create a seamless experience for every guest while contributing to a positive team culture.

Drive Continuous Improvement

We're always looking for ways to improve. Bring ideas, support your teammates, and help us continually raise the standard of our guest experience.

What We're Looking For
  • Previous experience in hospitality, food & beverage, customer service, cafés, bars, hotels or retail is beneficial but not essential – full training will be provided.

  • A genuine passion for delivering excellent guest service.

  • A friendly, positive attitude and confidence interacting with people from around the world.

  • Someone who enjoys a varied role and is happy to support different areas of the operation.

  • The ability to multitask and stay organised in a busy environment.

  • A proactive approach with strong attention to cleanliness, presentation and detail.

  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

  • Flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays as required.

Why Join Wilde?

At Wilde, you'll be part of a growing international brand where your contribution truly matters. This is a varied hospitality role where no two days are the same. You'll develop skills across food and beverage service, guest relations and hotel operations, working with a supportive team dedicated to creating memorable experiences for every guest.

If you're looking for a role that combines hospitality, food and beverage, guest interaction and teamwork in a vibrant aparthotel environment, we'd love to welcome you to the Wilde team.
