Ideas People Trust We're BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today's changing world. We work with the companies that are Britain's economic engine - ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams leading them. We'll broaden your horizons Learning and Development (L&D) is a key enabler of our strategy as an Audit Stream and critical to our success. It supports our ability to attract, develop and retain talented people who take pride in their work and successfully deliver for our business. Effective L&D underpins quality and productivity by supporting our people to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their work, helping them reach their personal and professional potential. Effective L&D does not happen by chance. It requires specialist resources who partner with the Audit Stream to identify training needs and appropriately respond to them. Careful planning and project management are necessary, as are a critical-thinking and commercial mindset, and an understanding of regulatory requirements. Effective L&D needs consideration of the latest innovation, tools and technology to support development of leading personal and professional development that is tailored, relevant and timely for our people. We have an exciting opportunity for an Experienced Manager / Senior Manager or equivalent to join our Learning Development team. The role would suit a talented, high performing and ambitious individual who is keen not only to support delivery on our current curriculum and wider L&D initiatives but also to help shape the L&D strategy of the future during an exciting growth phase for the team.

Lead authors work with the Business Partnering team and Audit Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to understanding the business objectives for a particular learning need and then translate those into key learning objectives and design learning interventions that meet these needs effectively. This includes the use of learning design methodologies, innovation, and insights (co-created with the Innovation and Technology team) to author complex content. They also support the Learning Implementation team with project management activity and are also expected to be involved in facilitation of their programmes where appropriate. The successful candidate will not only lead on a portfolio of programmes / learning interventions, but will also have a wider role supporting broader activities across the Learning Development team, including but not limited to reviews of content developed by other authors / design secondees, coaching and upskilling of junior members in the Learning Development team, driving forward team-wide workstreams and supporting key initiatives for Audit Stream L&D such as our new Learning Library and Learning Culture programmes. It is expected that any successful candidate will have practical audit experience as well as a solid understanding of financial reporting, ethics and professional conduct. Experience with designing and developing technical learning content is a pre-requisite for this role. Formal design qualifications would be beneficial, as would presentation skills.

Our menu has existed for 25 years, delivering precise dishes that cannot be found outside of us in London. This iconic menu comes from Hotel Costes in Paris, meaning we have a legacy to uphold. It is this unique legacy that draws people to us, requiring irreproachable standards, so we are strict on set up, service, intervention on a table, and guest relations. What sets apart our more junior waiters/waitresses and our head waiters/waitresses besides an elevated service style is their wine and food knowledge, and ability to sell. Strict sommelier service is not our style. Our wine-list is French focused, so a real passion for French wine is a must, without the fluff. Honest knowledge, care, and attention when describing and serving wine, but without fanfare or dramatics. You will collaborate closely with our Restaurant Manager, Floor Manager, and Supervisors, as well as the rest of the team to enhance guest satisfaction and foster a culture of continuous improvement. In this role you will work hard to become part of something truly unlike anywhere else in London. Guest Experience & Service Excellence: Be a dynamic and visible presence on the floor-working a section while supporting the wine sales and service of more junior waiters in their sections.

Lead by example through your service, setting the tone for energy, professionalism, and guest care. Direct more junior members of staff on SOPs.

Engage with VIP guests discreetly and professionally, maintaining the high standards expected in our unique setting. What are we looking for? Minimum 1 year of experience in a similar role within a luxury dining room/property. Someone who is not afraid of a quiet service, where focus and commitment must still be maintained. Excellent knowledge of cocktails, spirits, wines and champagne. Strong French wine knowledge with an ability to treat our wines with care, but not fuss. A desire to learn more about the wines on our list is a must. Someone who feels at home on the dining room floor-personable, gracious, and always guest-first. Excellent knowledge of food with a high aptitude to learning and describing dishes with flair to both guests and team members. Strong upselling skills and ability to tailor service to differing guests' needs. Somone who stays informed about new trends, fashions, art, and culture. Ability to speak and write French is desirable but not essential. Self-starter with creativity, high drive, and result-oriented approach. Strong work ethic and ability to handle tasks under pressure and meet deadlines. Strong leadership skills to motivate the team and maintain a high level of service. Calm under pressure, exceptionally detail-oriented, and always aiming higher. Availability to work flexible shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Who are we? We are a 5-star luxury lifestyle boutique hotel located in the heart of Chelsea. Set in a 19th century building next to Sloane Square station and featuring a rooftop restaurant, an intimate cocktail bar, and thirty exceptionally designed bedrooms, the property has been elegantly restored to create unique experiences. Within one of London's most stylish interiors, the hotel combines the quintessentially British style of the Cadogan Estate with a unique French touch. Designed as an exceptional and inspiring destination, it highlights the distinguished and historic pedigree of the Sloane Square Conservation Area in a private and intimate setting. Independently run, the hotel employs passionate, focused individuals with a determination to succeed. To assist us in hosting our wonderful clients, we are on the search for the ambassadors of this truly unique property. They will be given the opportunity to make their own mark while delivering an exceptional service of unparalleled quality. Upon successful completion of the probation period The service charge range fluctuates based on our forecasted business levels and may vary from month to month.

Ideas People Trust We're BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today's changing world. We work with the companies that are Britain's economic engine - ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams leading them. We'll broaden your horizons Learning and Development (L&D) is a key enabler of our strategy as an Audit Stream and critical to our success. It supports our ability to attract, develop and retain talented people who take pride in their work and successfully deliver for our business. Effective L&D underpins quality and productivity by supporting our people to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their work, helping them reach their personal and professional potential. Effective L&D does not happen by chance. It requires specialist resources who partner with the Audit Stream to identify training needs and appropriately respond to them. Careful planning and project management are necessary, as are a critical-thinking and commercial mindset, and an understanding of regulatory requirements. Effective L&D needs consideration of the latest innovation, tools and technology to support development of leading personal and professional development that is tailored, relevant and timely for our people. We have an exciting opportunity for an Experienced Manager / Senior Manager or equivalent to join our Learning Development team. The role would suit a talented, high performing and ambitious individual who is keen not only to support delivery on our current curriculum and wider L&D initiatives but also to help shape the L&D strategy of the future during an exciting growth phase for the team. This role reports to the Development and Monitoring Lead (DAM). The Learning Development team is a team of learning designers, responsible for designing and curating or creating the Audit programme content which is available for the business. The aim is to develop the most impactful, innovative solutions to meet learner needs and deliver clear business outcomes. Within the team, there are a number of technical and non-technical specialists who are responsible for the main authoring activities within the team. Lead authors work with the Business Partnering team and Audit Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to understanding the business objectives for a particular learning need and then translate those into key learning objectives and design learning interventions that meet these needs effectively. This includes the use of learning design methodologies, innovation, and insights (co-created with the Innovation and Technology team) to author complex content. They also support the Learning Implementation team with project management activity and are also expected to be involved in facilitation of their programmes where appropriate. The successful candidate will not only lead on a portfolio of programmes / learning interventions, but will also have a wider role supporting broader activities across the Learning Development team, including but not limited to reviews of content developed by other authors / design secondees, coaching and upskilling of junior members in the Learning Development team, driving forward team-wide workstreams and supporting key initiatives for Audit Stream L&D such as our new Learning Library and Learning Culture programmes. It is expected that any successful candidate will have practical audit experience as well as a solid understanding of financial reporting, ethics and professional conduct. Experience with designing and developing technical learning content is a pre-requisite for this role. Formal design qualifications would be beneficial, as would presentation skills. These are not essential, however. Consideration will be made of 'qualification' through levels of on-the-job experience. The successful candidate can be based anywhere in the UK. Travel to the London office, where Audit Stream L&D is based, as well as some travel to other offices and external venues, will be required. Certain support on or delivery of courses will require residential stays.
