Why work at The Queens?

At The Queens Hotel, people are at the heart of everything we do — our guests, our community, and our team. We believe in creating a workplace where every individual feels supported, valued, and inspired to grow.

From your very first day, you’ll be welcomed into a friendly, down-to-earth team where personality matters just as much as experience. We’re proud to foster an environment where hard work is recognised, ideas are listened to, and laughter is part of the everyday.

With hands-on training, mentorship from experienced leaders, and regular development sessions, we’ll help you build a career you can be proud of.

We’re here to make your time with us rewarding in every sense — with meaningful work, a great team spirit, and benefits that support your life inside and outside of the hotel.
