Do you have a sense of adventure? Would you like the
opportunity to experience a unique way of life whilst working in
the hospitality industry?
Tranquil Rose is a hotel with a difference; a
floating hotelboat cruising the Inland Waterways. We carry up to
eight guests as we travel the Canals and Rivers of Southern England
through beautiful and often unknown countryside.
We are looking for a hard working, fun loving crew member to join
us for our 2017 season, from mid-May until early October, and you
will be rewarded by experiences that will be with you for a very
long time.
Your duties will mainly involve crew work, although a willingness
to help out with some kitchen work would be an advantage. Knowledge
of boating is not needed as we will give you all the training
required to become proficient at locking, rope work and general
boat handling, and even steering our 70’ hotel boat.
If you would like a 9 to 5 mundane job, then this is not the
position for you. You must have the ability to work long hours in a
small team, be able to multitask, be physically fit and enjoy
outdoor life, and perhaps most of all have a great sense of humour
as this is a job to be enjoyed. You would also need to enjoy the
company of two Patterdale Terrier “crew dogs”! This is hard but
very rewarding work; after all, how many jobs give you the
opportunity of waking up with a different view outside your bedroom
(cabin) window each morning?
This is a “live on board” position in shared crew accommodation
and all your food, accommodation, laundry and uniform will be
provided.
To sum up; if you like the outdoor life, work well in a team, have
some cooking skills, are willing to turn your hand to cleaning,
boat handling, working locks, and are outgoing and sociable, this
could be the job for you.
Search for Tranquil Rose and check out what we have to offer, and
then apply now, telling us why we may be interested in you. We plan
to hold interviews within the next few weeks or so in London.
