Back of House Supervisor

About the Employer

The Old Course Hotel sits in one of the world’s best-known golf locations and is an AA 5 Red star, award-winning resort focused on wellbeing, comfort, and memorable guest experiences. It is part of Kohler Company and operates as a privately owned property that aims to deliver personalised service at every touchpoint.

Why This Role Stands Out

The hotel places strong emphasis on its people and sees associates as central to guest satisfaction. It promotes hiring for attitude and personality, with the belief that practical skills can be developed through training. Team members are supported with ongoing learning opportunities, internal progression routes, and guidance from a committed leadership team.

Success is recognised through reward and appreciation schemes, including initiatives aligned with the HOME ethos and Associate of the Month recognition. In return, the role offers a competitive salary, pension support, free parking on site, meals while on shift, round-the-clock employee assistance, and complimentary access to fitness facilities.

Additional lifestyle benefits include discounts on restaurants, retail outlets, spa treatments, and hotel stays so employees can experience the resort’s offerings themselves. Benefit availability is subject to conditions and availability.
