“We’re looking for a full range of skilled and entry-level candidates, from porters, room and public area attendants, food and beverage personnel and concierge and front office staff through to golf attendants, apprentice and qualified chefs, trades people, spa therapists and kid’s club attendants.”
Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley will be the first international hotel in the Hunter region, epitomising the newest and best of hospitality and deluxe accommodation.
