Among the responsibilities of the role will be to carry out duties relating to front/back of house, household tasks including housekeeping, room layouts, set up and food/drink service for residents, guests and participants at events hosted at Áras an Uachtaráin, all of which must be delivered to the highest standard.

  • Have experience in both food service and housekeeping.

  • Work on own initiative while being part of a larger team.
  • Show a committed and flexible attitude to tasks and projects.
  • Have excellent interpersonal and communication skills coupled with a professional, polite and courteous manner when dealing with residents, colleagues, management and guests.
