This role combines coffee, light dining, wine, cocktails and evening lounge service. Successful candidates are attentive, approachable and able to read each guest’s preferences, adapting their service style without being intrusive.
Previous restaurant, lounge, café or bar experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate with a strong work ethic, professional presence and genuine interest in hospitality.
Staff accommodation is available in double rooms for full-time Sparkling Hill employees, working 40 hours per week.

- Ensure tables, lounge seating, service stations, menus, glassware and presentation areas remain clean and guest-ready.
