Vacancy for Hospitality Supervisor
Start Date: Immediate
Position: Full time (annualised hours)
Remuneration: £26,000 per annum
The Kent & East Sussex Railway is one of the UK’s most loved heritage railways, whose line currently stretches for over 10 miles through a stunning area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Kent and East Sussex. A further extension, which will see the line re-join the main line at Robertsbridge in 2028, is currently under construction.
We are passionate about the experiences and memories we create. As a registered educational charity, we don’t simply own & operate a railway; we're driven by a passion for preserving and sharing our rich heritage with visitors. We work hard to bring the sights, sounds, and sensations of a different era to life!
As our Hospitality Supervisor you’ll undertake a diverse range of duties working primarily in our station catering outlets. You’ll need to be able to prepare everyday meals to high standards in our station kitchens, but also in our on-train facilities when deputising for colleagues. You'll excel at working quickly and consistently under pressure, yet always safely and with pride. You will have previous experience of commercial catering and stock control, but copious enthusiasm and a willingness to work hard are the essential requirements. So if you are self-motivated, equally confident working alone or leading a team and enjoy a fast-paced customer-facing environment, we’d like to meet you!
