Are you looking for more than just a job? How about a role where every day you help create unforgettable moments — from dream weddings to impactful conferences — all while working in a sea view office, surrounded by a friendly, vibrant team?

At The Scarlet and Bedruthan Hotels, we don’t simply host events — we craft lasting memories. Whether you’re helping a couple plan their special day or collaborating with a conference organiser, your role is all about building meaningful relationships and delivering seamless, bespoke experiences that guests remember for all the right reasons.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

As part of our dynamic Sales & Reservations team, you’ll be at the heart of our hotels' guest journey. You’ll be a trusted advisor from the very first conversation, listening closely, understanding what matters most, and guiding guests with confidence and care.

We’re a fast-paced, people-first team who enjoy what we do, celebrate our successes and genuinely love working together. You’ll be part of a business that values creativity, warmth, and hospitality that goes above and beyond.

• Thrives in a fast-moving environment, solving problems quickly and staying calm under pressure.


• Loves sales and gets excited about hitting targets, upselling creatively, and closing deals with warmth and professionalism.


• Is passionate about hospitality and creating flawless event experiences from the first enquiry to the final farewell.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Acting as the first point of contact for event enquiries — via phone, email, and in person.


• Building strong relationships with guests and understanding their event needs in detail.


• Confidently selling and upselling our venue, packages, and services.


• Conducting show rounds and guiding clients through every stage of the booking process.


• Drafting proposals, managing contracts and deposits, and ensuring all administrative details are accurate and timely.


• Hitting sales targets while delivering a service that’s warm, personal, and reflective of our brand.


• Collaborating across departments to hand over confirmed events and support smooth delivery.


• Gathering post-event feedback and securing repeat business when possible.


• Keeping up with industry trends, competitor research, and new lead development.
