About the Club…
Sea View Yacht Club is a thriving and vibrant Yacht Club based in the beautiful village of Seaview on the Isle of Wight. Established in 1893, the Yacht Club bursts into to life over summer months with members travelling to the Island from across the UK to enjoy their time at the Club on & off the water.
The Club’s hospitality and events team has a passion for delivering exceptional service, working closely as a team, with knowledgeable, caring and supportive, industry leading management. The result is a relaxed yet professional approach to delivering one of the Island’s best venue experiences.
The Club hosts normal restaurant service alongside corporate hospitality & events. Lively parties on the Club’s staging on a summer’s evening, refined a la carte dining on the Club house terrace, and everything in between.
The type of crew we need…
We are looking for Experience Bar Staff with passion and flair for the industry.
The right candidate will be passionate about high-quality service, hold a positive fun attitude & demonstrate an ability to work successfully in a team in a busy environment.

We offer flexible working hours to suit, with full time and part time roles available. Whether you’re looking for a summer job or something more permanent we want to hear from you.

- Helping with event set-up and breakdown – preparing for everything from lively party evenings to formal balls and village regattas, the calendar is full of great events!

- Training that includes First Aid and Level 2 Food Safety – Plus we’ve got some exceptional managers to help bring the best out of you!
- Rates of Pay that exceed NMW/NLW (with some hours paid at enhanced rates)

- Comfortable working on your feet and outside in a beautiful seaside environment

- Positive attitude and excellent communication skills – communication is key to a great workplace; we need positive and interested team members that will go the extra mile for their team and guests
