Cairn Hotel Group

Cairn Group has grown to become one of the UK’s premium leisure groups. The company has grown from one hotel in Newcastle to a portfolio of 32 hotels and over 30 bars and restaurants across the UK. We are a family run business, and our employees and customers are at the heart of everything we do.

We have a strong track record of growing and promoting from within. Alongside the opportunity to grow with us, our package includes:

A Warm Welcome Awaits You!

It is important to us that all our new team members are made to feel welcome and supported in their early days with us, and longer term throughout their careers. 

To ensure you have the best possible start with us, we allocate time at home to complete online training and provide you with a comprehensive hotel induction and plan. Regular reviews will be held throughout induction and beyond, with training and development opportunities arranged throughout the year, to enable you to be the best you can be!

Grow with Us

We offer an extensive amount of Development Opportunities via our ‘Grow with us’ initiative, to ensure your career goals are visible and achievable.

Our Career mapping tool will allow you to see what you need for your next exciting role, and our training, development and Apprenticeship opportunities help you get there! This could be for progression within your specialism, or a side-step into a new department.

Happy in the role you’re in? No problem! We also ensure you’re aware of all the opportunities available to upskill you in your current position.

Our Apprenticeships start from level 2 up to undergraduate degree level, covering various specialisms.

Looking to be the next operations manager or general manager of the future? We run a ‘Top Talent’ leadership development program for our aspiring managers to train all the principles required.

We have opportunities at your venue, or if you would prefer to experience more of our company, across the UK.

Your Wellbeing Matters…

Access your pay as you earn it through our financial wellbeing platform ‘Wagestream,’ a tool that lets you track your earnings in real-time, access a percentage of your pay as you earn it, learn easy tips for managing your money and save straight from your pay into pots for the future.

Access to a confidential ‘Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)’ available 24/7, 365 days per year.

Additionally, all supervisors and managers are trained in Mental Health Awareness, and all our venues host a ‘Coffee Catch Up Session’ at least monthly, so you have a safe space to talk. Don’t fancy talking? Just grab the coffee in the comfortable surrounding of your peers knowing they’re there for you.
