Trainee Wine Waiter

Hoar Cross Hall | Staffordshire

Begin your journey into the
world of professional wine service.

At Hoar Cross Hall, we pride
ourselves on delivering exceptional dining experiences that complement our
award-winning luxury spa resort. We are looking for a passionate and enthusiastic
Trainee Wine Waiter to join our Food & Beverage team and develop a
rewarding long-term career in wine service.

This is an exciting opportunity
for someone who has a genuine interest in wine and hospitality and is eager to
learn from experienced professionals. Working closely with our Junior Sommelier
and Head of Food & Beverage, you will receive hands-on coaching, mentoring
and practical experience while developing the skills and confidence to deliver
exceptional wine service.

Following the successful
completion of your probationary period, you will begin a structured
development programme designed to support your progression into a specialist
wine role. As part of this programme, Hoar Cross Hall will fully fund your WSET
Level 2 and WSET Level 3 qualifications, alongside a tailored development plan
with clear milestones to help you achieve your career goals.

What you'll be doing

As a Trainee Wine Waiter, you'll
play an important role in delivering memorable dining experiences while
developing your wine knowledge and service expertise. Your responsibilities
will include:

• Assisting with the presentation, service and
  promotion of our carefully curated wine selection


• Developing a thorough understanding of our wine
  list, grape varieties, wine regions and styles


• Learning to confidently recommend wines and food
  pairings that complement our menus and enhance our guests' dining
  experience


• Working alongside our Junior Sommelier, Head of
  Food & Beverage and wider Food & Beverage team to deliver
  exceptional service

  willingness to learn

  skills


• Have a proactive approach and the ability to work
  well as part of a team


• Have a commitment to providing outstanding customer
  service in a luxury hospitality environment


• Having previous hospitality experience would be an

  enthusiasm, attitude and desire to learn than your existing wine knowledge.
