Company Description
We’re looking for a plate-balancing, people-loving Events Waiter at The Hoxton, Edinburgh to keep the food, drinks and good vibes flowing at our most memorable moments.
Reporting to the Events Operations Manager, you’ll be responsible for serving, hosting, and bringing a smooth, friendly service to our event spaces, from intimate dinners to weddings, launch parties, and the sort of celebrations people talk about for years. This is a casual, flexible role where you choose the shifts that work for your life, and there may be opportunities to pick up hours elsewhere in the hotel too.
We’ve opened our doors in Edinburgh’s charming West End - our very first Hox in Scotland. Set across 11 beautiful Georgian townhouses, we’re home to 214 bedrooms, a lively open lobby and bar, an all-day Italian trattoria Patatino, a retro-inspired cinema, a flexible and super-size event space called The Get Together, and The Apartment – our unique signature spot for meetings, private dinners and memorable gatherings.
Patatino is our all-day Italian trattoria serving fresh pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and all the spritzes and Italian wines you could wish for. Inspired by the glam and romance of the sun-soaked Amalfi coast, it’s a spot for long, joyful meals with friends, where old-school charm meets modern design, with bold colours, cosy corners, and plenty of personality.
More about us…
The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
Job Description
What's in it for you...
- The flexibility to choose when you want to work, perfect for students, side-projects, or anyone wanting control over their schedule or juggling other commitments.
- Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
- Competitive salary plus holiday pay.
- Food on us during your shift.
- The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
- Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
What you’ll do…
- Create a fun and relaxed atmosphere where guests come to have memorable gatherings.
- Help keep service running smoothly, from setting up spaces to serving plates, topping up glasses, and keeping the atmosphere buzzing.
- Work with the rest of the team in keeping things running smoothly before, during and after events.
- Anticipate needs and proactively provide solutions so that our guests’ expectations are not only met but exceeded.
- Bring personality, positivity, and energy to every shift, whether it’s an intimate dinner or a 200-guest party night.
What we’re looking for…
- Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
- Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
- You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
- You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
- You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
- If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
- You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
- If you have previous experience, great! But it’s not a must-have for us; it’s how you contribute to the team that matters.
- Nothing is an issue for you, you know what our guests want even before they do.
