The Inn Collection Group has announced that it will create nearly 1000 jobs as a result of reopening 12 of its sites.
The company already employs 900 people across its network and the hiring staff to work at the 12 reopened sites will take its headcount to nearly 2000.
As landmark sites in the Lake District and North Yorkshire gear up for a spring reopening, applications are currently being invited for a wide range of roles including general and assistant managers, head chefs and front of house opportunities.
Some of the new positions will be to assemble a team at Harrogate’s Hotel St George, where the company had recently announced redundancies.
The company stated that problems within the construction industry and associated supply chain having a knock-on effect on refurbishments left it with no option but to make cuts at the time to secure the long-term future for the site.
Liz Robertson, people director, said: “It is an exciting time for The Inn Collection Group with so many sites coming back from refurbishment and recruiting their reopening teams.It is a real source of pride that we are looking to expand our people base and that we can offer rewarding positions in great locations with a fantastic company.
“Some positions are being recruited for the very first time by the group, such as the general manager role at our Betws-y-Coed property The Swallow Falls Inn, whilst some like the general manager role at The Temperance Inn in Ambleside are because we’ve seen internal progression of colleagues developing and moving into new roles within ICG.”
She added: “The return to trading of the sites under refurbishment is the growth focus for us this year and our new colleagues are going to play a key role, alongside our already valued colleagues, in delivering our goals.”
