Dalata creating 595 new roles as hotel portfolio expands

Ireland’s largest hotel operator is creating 595 new roles as it expands its portfolio and adds to existing properties.

Dalata, which has 45 Maldron and Clayton hotels across Ireland and the UK , including in Belfast and Derry, is seeking new talent on the back of strong performance over the summer months and current encouraging occupancy levels.

From budding baristas to bartenders, sous chefs and chef de partie’s, as well as spa therapists, accommodation assistants, receptionists, fitness instructors, porters, marketing, sales and accountancy roles, the hotel group is serving up a full range of flexible roles with stand-out benefit packages.

Commenting on the news, Dermot Crowley, Dalata CEO Designate said, “Career progression and training is in our DNA at Dalata. We decided early in the pandemic that we needed to retain and protect our core teams. Those teams have been critical in the smooth re-opening of our hotels to all guests over the last four months.

“It was fantastic to see the uptake in our Academy development programme, online courses and remote training over the last 18 months, with many of our staff engaging, upskilling and continuing their learning with Dalata despite our hotels being closed.

“As travel opens up further around the world, we look forward to welcoming back international guests to our hotels in greater numbers. Hospitality is all about people and as our hotels get busier, there is no better time to join Dalata.

“We are committed to taking care of all our people and providing exciting career opportunities as well. We have opportunities across a range of disciplines across our portfolio in Ireland and the UK. We look forward to welcoming new people to our teams.”

Dalata has now delivered a total of 150,000 training courses to its employees over the last 18 months despite lockdowns. All new recruits are automatically enrolled in the award-winning Dalata Academy with extensive opportunities to grow their skills and careers.

Employees can also enjoy added benefits like a free meal while working, discounted gym membership for them and their family, discounted health insurance and a bonus if they refer a friend.

There are available positions in Dublin, Limerick, Cork, Belfast, Galway, Wexford, Derry, Sligo, Portlaoise, London, Cambridge, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Leeds and Cardiff.
