What we offer

Our wages are very competitive. The costs of living in Tetbury are low. None of your wages will disappear unnecessarily on commuting or without explanation when you have just been to the cashpoint! Tips are good – we have loyal customers who recognise and reward the great service they receive with us. Unlike some restaurants, we pass all tips on to our staff with no deductions. You also get a staff meal when you are on duty and our chefs always make sure you benefit from extras which we did not sell during service.

 

Holidays

You get 28 days of holiday a year. This is your opportunity to see other parts of the UK or Europe. With Heathrow airport a 2 hour easy coach ride away or Bristol airport a 1 hour drive away, you can use this time to dart off to the continent. At our peak times like July, August, October or Christmas/New Year we can't grant holidays - but it’s better to travel when you won’t be charged over the odds for flights and hotels.

 

Staff accommodation

Not all of our staff choose to live in staff accommodation but for those who do it is in two cottages on-site.

 

What it is like working for The Priory Inn

We work hard and we play hard. We especially look after families and children well. It is important that you like kids.

We try to give all our staff two days off per week. Although not always possible, we believe that this is important. Most of our positions are paid by the hour meaning that if we ask you to give us some extra time, you will be paid for it.

Our kitchen has a passion for local and seasonal food. To be a member of this tight knit team you need to love freshness and the natural beauty of our local produce. Our chef loves to teach and develop his staff. In the front of the house, our service style is relaxed but professional. You will be encouraged to get to know our customer’s names and to be friendly to them all the time.

As many of you will be with us over Christmas, we try to do something special to thank you for your hard work when everybody else is off. The one night of the year that the restaurant and bar are closed is Christmas night so you get the chance to have a good Christmas dinner and party.

 

What Tetbury is like

Tetbury is a nice small town of about 6000 people. It is quintessentially English and its most famous local resident is HRH Prince Charles. The Prince’s farm supplies us with many of the vegetables on our menu. It is a short walk to supermarkets, shops, doctors and the amenities you would expect from a proper town.

We are within easy distance of London (1.5 hours by train), Bath (35 minutes by car), Oxford (1.25 hours by train, Cheltenham (30 minutes by car) and Bristol (40 minutes by car). We think it’s the most beautiful part of England with rolling countryside, beautiful walks, The Cotswold Waterpark and lovely little villages.

 

UK Jobs for Australians, Kiwis, South Africans and Europeans

We cannot arrange visas for you and the bureaucracy involved in getting a Job if you are an Australian, Kiwi, South African, other commonwealth country can be bewildering. Even UK Jobs for Europeans can involve paperwork. If you do not have a visa, work permit, blue card or are not a citizen of a nation which has a right to work in the UK, we cannot help or sponsor you.

 

Who works at The Priory Inn

Our staff come from as far away as Australia and Indonesia and as nearby as Tetbury. You need a passion for life, love of fresh food and quality drink, a good hard-working ethic and the ability to connect with our customers.
