Be committed to delivering a five-star guest experience
Possess strong communication skills and a team-oriented mindset
Demonstrate professionalism, a willingness to learn, and a genuine enthusiasm for the industry
What to expect
A full-time role, working a minimum of 40 hours per week across 5 days, Shifts may include early starts from 6:00am and late finishes up to 11:00pm during elements of your placement.
Weekend working is expected, with time off scheduled accordingly
A fast-paced, supportive environment where you’ll be encouraged to grow and take initiative
What’s in it for you?
This is your opportunity to gain meaningful experience in a luxury hospitality setting. As a placement student, you’ll develop practical skills, build your confidence, and work with an award-winning team passionate about quality and guest service.
Many of our previous placement students have gone on to pursue graduate opportunities within the Eden Hotel Collection or the wider hospitality industry.
At Eden Hotel Collection, we’re proud of our award-winning approach to employee wellbeing, engagement, and recognition (with industry award wins in both 2023 and 2024!)—which means you’re joining a team that values your happiness, growth, and success every step of the way.
A Culture of Collaboration and Care
We work together to create a truly inclusive workplace, where your voice matters, and real change happens:
We’re proud members of the Hoteliers’ Charter, and our team is always at the heart of what we do, guided by our values of Heart, Honesty, Spirit, and Team.
Our commitment to equity means we welcome talent from all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and we encourage applications from all communities, including underrepresented groups, parents, people living with disabilities, and those bringing diverse perspectives. Join us to experience what it means to work for a values-led, award-winning employer.
