Hospitality Careers at The HARTY ESTATE
We create weddings, celebrations and unforgettable stays in one of Kent’s most beautiful corners. None of it happens without brilliant people behind it.
If you take pride in your work, enjoy being part of a team and thrive on the feeling of a job well done, you’ll fit right in here.
Why The Harty Estate?
We’re genuinely family-run
That shapes everything about how we work. We look after our team because we want you to stay, grow and feel valued, not just show up and clock off.
Work life balance
No, you won’t be scheduled every day of every weekend.
We publish rotas two months in advance as a minimum, often three or four. So you can make plans, book holidays, organise your studies or commitments, and actually have a life outside of work. Hospitality doesn’t have to mean no work-life balance.
We also close for at least five days every Christmas. That time is yours, for family, friends and celebrating or switching off properly.
If you’re fitting work around family life or other commitments, we get it and we’ll support you. You’ll be joining a friendly team in a place people genuinely enjoy coming to.
Room to grow
Several of our current team joined in entry-level roles and now lead or supervise departments, or have moved into new areas of the business. If you want to develop, we’ll support you with training and opportunities.
However, not everyone joins us to build a lifelong career, and that’s absolutely fine.
Many of our team work with us alongside college or university, returning during holidays and fitting shifts around their studies. Wherever you’re heading, we’re proud to be part of your story.
Working here builds:
- Confidence with people
- Teamwork under pressure
- Time management
- Professional standards
- Communication skills employers genuinely value
We’ve waved team members off to careers in all sorts of industries, and we love seeing where they go next.
Meals on us
Working a shift of six hours or more? We’ll feed you. It’s a small thing, but it matters.
Always something happening
We’re constantly evolving – new projects, renovations, fresh ideas. There’s always something in the works at The Harty Estate. It makes the place feel alive, and it means you’re joining somewhere that’s genuinely going places.
A commute worth making
We’re set in a stunning waterside, countryside location. Marsh harriers, open skies and free on-site parking. A world away from the urban rush, and that’s exactly why our people love it.
A proper team
We work hard, we bring our A game, we support each other and we laugh – a lot. We hold two staff socials a year, because celebrating our wins together matters.
