The White Horses Rottingdean outlines summer recruitment plans

The White Horses Rottingdean has outlined its latest recruitment plans to hire more than 40 team members ahead of opening this summer. 

As the first hotel to open from Everly Hotels Collection, The White Horses will be a new premium hotel on the East Sussex coastline. 

According to the group, it is set to “transform the Rottingdean seafront with beautifully appointed accommodation and dining filled with local influences”.

The hotel is now actively recruiting for over 40 new full-time, part-time and seasonal roles locally in Rottingdean, as well as the surrounding Brighton and Hove area.

Vacancies are available across a range of roles, including front of house, kitchen staff and housekeeping – with roles at multiple levels available, such as team leaders, assistant managers, senior chefs, junior chefs, kitchen porters and more. 

In addition, the business will be offering a variety of roles as apprentice opportunities, aiming to fulfil at least 10% of the roles as apprentice positions.

Earlier this year, Neal Goldsmith joined The White Horses hotel as general manager. Joining him will be Johnny Joseph as head chef, Sarah Attenborough as guest experience manager, and Kelly Dent as head housekeeper.

Vincent Madden, MD of Everly Hotels Collection, said: “Today is a big operational milestone for The White Horses hotel. Key to its success will be the team we put in place to work alongside our existing operational employees, and so we are looking forward to welcoming prospective employees at our recruitment day.

“The White Horses hotel is deeply rooted in the community, and this is a great opportunity for locals looking for jobs in the area. The team we put in place will join 17 familiar faces from the previous hotel. We see them acting as an extension of our community focus, with first-hand knowledge of Rottingdean to enrich our guests’ experience when staying at The White Horses hotel.”
