The opening comes as Devonshire Hotels & Restaurants Group looks to fill more than 30 full and part-time positions in the estate’s hotels and restaurants, working in both the kitchens and front of house.
In an effort to attract candidates and highlight the career opportunities on offer, two recruitment days are taking place at Chatsworth on Thursday 9 September and Saturday 11 September.
Every attendee will be guaranteed an interview with a member of the senior hospitality team with a range of short term part-time seasonal roles on offer to longer-term opportunities with for those looking to build a career.
Richard Palmer, managing director of Devonshire Hotels, said: “The loss of the labour force from Europe and the impact of the pandemic on the hospitality sector being one of the last to re-open has created a ‘perfect storm’ impacting on our ability to recruit and find people with the right skills.
“We want to get across the message that there are lots of fantastic careers in hospitality and we can help support people to realise those aspirations.
“I’m an example of this as I actually started within the hotels at Bolton Abbey as a waiter and am now heading up the hotels and restaurants group.”
