Food & Beverage Assistant

- (mornings) Staybridge Suites, Newcastle.

At Cycas Hospitality, we look for people who are dynamic, confident and ambitious; people who excel in their role and help our guests succeed too. Our focus is to put PEOPLE at the heart of everything we do. We believe in hiring the smile and training and developing talent to create genuine and caring teams who come to work to have fun.

Staybridge Suites ensure every space features a sense of community, comfort and convenience. With a brand ethos of From Home-to-Home, guests feel like they are at home while on the road. Staybridge Suites operate with fewer colleagues than some of the other IHG brands, so staff need to be naturals when it comes to multi-tasking. Here, you need to be friendly, smart, welcoming and professional - focused on getting the basics right, each and every time.
