Your 4-Star Retreat in North Wales

If you’re searching for a contemporary and relaxed 4-star hotel in North Wales, you’ve found the perfect destination. Located in the picturesque town of Criccieth, The Caerwylan is a beautifully restored Victorian landmark. We’ve thoughtfully rebuilt the hotel to offer 24 stylish, individually designed en-suite rooms, along with n

COME AND JOIN OUR KITCHEN TEAM AT THE CAERWYLAN HOTEL

We’re looking for a chef to join our small kitchen team at The Caerwylan Hotel in Criccieth.

We’re a seasonal hotel and restaurant, and while the height of our summer season is now almost behind us, there’s still plenty going on. We have a good few weeks of our main season left before we move into autumn and then onto our Christmas parties and festive season.

We like to run our kitchen a little differently. We work hard, stay organised and get through busy services together – without the shouting, egos and chaos that can sometimes come with kitchen life.

The role will include a mixture of breakfast shifts, morning prep and evening services, working alongside our existing chefs to keep everything running smoothly.

We’re looking for someone who can cook, stay organised when things get busy and take pride in what they send out. You’ll need to be reliable, work well as part of a small team and be happy to get stuck into all aspects of the kitchen.

Live-in accommodation is available if required, so we’re also happy to hear from chefs looking to relocate to the area.

If you’re looking for a chef role where you can enjoy cooking, be part of a close-knit team and leave the unnecessary kitchen drama behind, we’d love to hear from you.

COME AND JOIN OUR TEAM – KITCHEN PORTER

We’re looking for someone to join our kitchen team at The Caerwylan Hotel & Tonnau Restaurant in Criccieth.

We have a Kitchen Porter / Pot Wash position available for a couple of days a week, with the opportunity to pick up additional shifts and hours.

We can be flexible, to a point, with which days you work, but the role will involve split shifts and working into the evening. Because of the hours involved, this position is not suitable for anyone still at school.

Your main responsibilities will include:

* Keeping on top of the washing up throughout service
* Putting clean equipment, crockery and utensils away
* Cleaning down the kitchen
* Completing daily kitchen cleaning jobs
* Helping to keep the kitchen clean, organised and running smoothly

We’re equally happy to hear from someone who simply wants to come in, get stuck into the pot wash and keep the kitchen running smoothly. However, if you’d like to expand your role and learn more there will also be the opportunity to work alongside our chefs, helping with food preparation and desserts. This can give you the chance to pick up more hours and develop your kitchen skills.

We’re looking for someone who is reliable, hardworking and happy to get stuck in as part of a busy kitchen team.

**COME AND JOIN TEAM CAERWYLAN!**

Our season wind-down is looking much busier than we expected— which is great news for us, but with some of our brilliant student team heading back to school, college and university, we’re going to be a few pairs of hands short!

So, we’re looking for some extra help to join us, with a couple of different options depending on what suits you.

HOUSEKEEPING
Help us keep our bedrooms looking their best! You’ll be working as part of our housekeeping team, cleaning and preparing guest bedrooms and helping with general cleaning around the hotel.

Shifts usually start around 9am and finish around 1pm–2pm, depending on how busy we are.

___________________________

KITCHEN PORTER / POTWASH
If bedrooms aren’t your thing, perhaps the kitchen is!

We’re looking for someone to help keep our kitchen running smoothly — keeping on top of the washing up, putting everything away, cleaning down the kitchen and helping with the daily cleaning jobs.

These are split shifts, with a couple of days a week available and the opportunity for extra shifts. We can be flexible to a point with which days you work.

We’re completely happy if you just want to come in, get stuck into the washing up and head home! But if you’d like to learn a little more, there’s also the opportunity to help our chefs with food preparation and desserts, which could open up some extra hours.

___________________________

OR… WHY NOT DO BOTH?

If you’re looking for more hours, we can combine the two roles!

You could work a housekeeping shift during the day, have a break in between, then come back and help us in the kitchen in the evening — giving you the option of creating a longer working day and picking up more hours.

___________________________

You don’t need loads of experience for either role. We’re much more interested in finding someone who is reliable, happy to get stuck in and works well as part of a team.

For the kitchen role, you’ll need to be old enough to work until later in the evening, so unfortunately this one isn’t suitable for school-age applicants.

Interested in housekeeping, potwash, or a bit of both?

Get in touch and tell us what you’re looking for — we’re happy to see if we can make the hours work for the right person!

Can you believe it's been 10 years since Michael and Frances took over The Caerwylan Hotel?

10 years of calling these incredible views their office.
10 years of welcoming guests who so often leave as friends.
10 years of making memories.
And, 10 years of building and working with an incredible team.

We are incredibly lucky to be led by Michael and Frances, whose passion, dedication and unwavering commitment have made The Caerwylan what it is today and we're proud to be part of that journey.

Happy 10 years ❤️
