You’ll also gain regular feedback from residents and provide activity reports to the General Manager.

Internally, this role is called Hospitality Assistant, if you are successful this will be your job title.  You will be required to work across a range of departments including Housekeeping, Food & Beverage and Wellbeing & Lifestyle.
