Kitchen Porter

Location Buckland Manor is set in ten acres of stunning grounds. With 4 AA red stars, 3 AA rosettes, and a member of Relais & Châteaux, Buckland Manor offers employees the opportunity to work within a traditional, yet friendly English country house hotel.

We pay a team service charge each month. This service charge all goes into one pot, and 100% of that service charge is then shared among all the team at the hotel. The service charge can be in the region of £305 a month (around £3,600 per year) over and above base pay, for a full‑time employee. The hotel may offer on‑site staff accommodation and free parking.
