BIG INCREASE IN CUSTOMER DEMAND

FOLLOWING a huge uplift in bookings since Ragdale Hall reopened in May, the spa now has a host of career opportunit­ies.

The venue, near Melton, is holding a recruitmen­t evening next Thursday, which is open to anyone seeking a career opportunit­y.

Positions include cleaners, beauty therapists, fitness instructor­s, kitchen staff, bartenders, maintenanc­e staff, porters and waiting staff.

No experience is necessary for some of the positions and full onthe-job training provided.

HR and commercial director Allison Garner said: “This is a great time to join our award-winning team, as not only have we reviewed our packages with salary increases across the board on all new positions, but we’ve also just reviewed our benefits package so there’s now even more to be gained from joining the Ragdale family.”

Alongside gratuities, employees at Ragdale benefit from free meals on shift, recognitio­n schemes – including employee of the month, merit awards and long-service awards – and a quarterly lotto with a chance to win up to £1,000.

Staff also get discounts in all retail areas, bars and restaurant­s and on spa days and spa breaks for friends and family, as well as use of facilities during select times of the day and free transport to and from work between Melton (via Asfordby) and the hall seven days a week.

Allison said: “We would encourage anyone and everyone to come along to our recruitmen­t evening, meet our wonderful team and find out more.

“We’ll also be holding on-the-day interviews for those interested.”

Ragdale Hall Spa is one of Europe’s biggest – and one of the UK’s most renowned – destinatio­n spas.

Recent accolades include Best Retreat Spa at the Good Spa Awards 2021, Best Hotel Experience at the Natural Health Beauty Awards 2021 and Best Health Spa at the Health and Wellbeing Awards 2021.

It is also shortliste­d for Spa of the Year at the World Spa and Wellness Awards 2021.
