What is the minimum age I can work for you?
We welcome applications from all ages, however there are some steps to follow if you are a young person. Work permits are required for all students who wish to work while they are of compulsory school age, until the last Friday of June in the year of their 16th birthday. A work permit application form can be downloaded from the relevant councils website and completed by the parent and employer before work starts.

If I were successful, what would I be doing during my first couple of days of employment?
You would be attending The Celtic Collection onboarding session! We will let you know the arrangements before your first day.

The onboarding programme is fun and enjoyable, it will help you to learn all about your new hotel or venue and you get to meet new colleagues. You will learn about the history of The Celtic Collection, how we would like you to treat our guests, what benefits and perks you will have and how we will help you on your new journey with us.

What would I need to wear?
You will need to be comfortable and smart. You may have a tour of your hotel or venue and so please wear sensible shoes. Don’t forget we are a luxury hospitality brand and so all our teams need to be well groomed and must look the part!

What would I need to bring to the onboarding day?
Passport (and visa if applicable), car registration number (if applicable), copies of your certificates stated on your application form and a P45 form (if applicable) and your Bank Details.

If I were successful, would a uniform be provided?
Most departments have a uniform which we will let you know about at your interview. For your first shift, you will need to wear your own smart, black, closed-toe, low heel shoes. Socks must be black and tights must be neutral. Culinary team members will be given their uniform and safety shoes. You will also have a shiny new name badge which you will need to wear at all times.

A smart appearance is very important as it says a lot about you and The Celtic Collection. Our guests will form an opinion about our level of service from seeing how well presented you are. A warm smile is also a compulsory part of our appearance standards!

We don’t allow you to wear your uniform when you are not in work. Most uniform will be regularly cleaned for you.

What are your grooming standards?
We are a 5* company and this is the image we want our staff to portray. Please keep in mind at all times that your image would reflect our image. By observing our guidelines on hygiene and grooming (these would be given to you in an employee handbook), you will maintain the high standards we require.

A smart appearance says a lot about you and The Celtic Collection before you even say a word. Our customers would form an opinion about our level of service from seeing how well presented you are. It’s also true that if you look good, the chances are that you will feel confident too!

If I were successful, how and when would I get paid?
You will be paid on the last working day of each month into your UK bank/building society account.
Your pay stated on your contract is gross and so tax and National Insurance will be deduced from this. We will email you a password-protected payslip each month.
