Ayrshire hospitality group, SimpsInns, has launched a recruitment drive to encourage those 18 to 30 to become a part of Ayrshire’s hospitality and tourism industry as it recovers from the pandemic. The new campaign aims to attract over 20 young people to the industry.
SimpsInns already supports over 280 local jobs, and has invested over £2.5m across its portfolio of venues along the Ayrshire coast, including The Gailes Hotel & Spa and Si! Bar:Restaurant in Irvine, The Waterside Hotel at West Kilbride, plus the Old Loans Inn near Troon.
Lee (28) and Jack Simpson (25), sons of SimpsInns founders and Directors, Malcolm and Karen Simpson, have been appointed as the campaign ambassadors, which includes promoting the range of roles currently available within the business and helping people find a job that suits their skill sets.
The SimpsInns group is offering a full range of job opportunities from front of house, bar team and chefs to senior positions including Operations Manager at The Waterside Hotel, Head Chef at Old Loans Inn and Spa Therapist at Si! Spa.
Commenting on the launch of SimpsInns’ spring 2022 recruitment drive, Lee said, “We’re really keen to get the message out there that young people within Ayrshire and around Scotland have the opportunity to play an important role in helping the struggling hospitality sector get back on its feet after the damaging impact of the pandemic. Employing committed, talented and enthusiastic staff will be an important part of that process at SimpsInns.
Jack added, “From working front of house, in the kitchen, accommodation management to leisure activities, SimpsInns has a variety of role across all entry levels with great long-term career opportunities. We now have over 20 roles available across our Ayrshire-wide portfolio, including chefs, front of house, spa therapists and operations managers.”
