catering
Catering is often described as the “hidden” side of the hospitality industry but jobs in catering can be challenging and creative, and very rewarding, knowing for instance that in working in a hospital or school, you are helping the community.
clubs
All clubs are licensed and many offer gaming facilities as well as a variety of bars, restaurants and lounges. They usually provide entertainment for their members and guests, and often host concerts and other types of activities.
restaurants & cafés
You may have already decided that you would like a career in the industry or even have the dream of owning your own restaurant or café. It is an exciting industry, where you meet lots of people and have the satisfaction of creating or serving great dishes or drinks for them.
hotels
The type of hotel you choose to work in is likely to reflect where you would prefer to stay yourself. Many people like small, cosy places where they can feel at home and get to know other guests, whilst others prefer the glitz and glamour of the five-star hotel.
pubs & taverns
Pubs and taverns vary from small, local pubs to large taverns and offer a range of facilities and services including bars, restaurants, gaming activities, and even discos. Many host live entertainment like rock bands or jazz groups, so if you like music they can be great places to work.
