What our team say

Don't just take our word for it, see what our employees have to say about working for Barceló...

 

"I started in 1992 as a Kitchen Porter, I was then promoted to Breakfast Chef in 2007 and Back of House Manager. The kitchen team... is the best I’ve ever seen, there is always someone there to help if you’re ever struggling, it’s a brilliant crew.

Barceló offers good training opportunities... and is very committed to investing in staff to increase ability, productivity, and raise standards.  There are also good staff benefits, with the ability to visit other properties and meet fellow work colleagues. I personally visited Barceló Lanzarote and was very impressed."
Steve White
Back of House Manager at Barceló Cheltenham Park Hotel for over 17 years

 

“Barceló has excellent career prospects available. Having started as Night Porter I have worked up to Management though training and opportunities that Barceló has given me, and also made some life long friends from all over the world “

"I started working for Barceló Harrogate Majestic Hotel 13 years ago as a... banqueting waiter, and have since progressed through the ranks. I would have to say that working for Barcelo is ‘muy, muy bien’!"
Lawrence Chin
Assistant Restaurant Manager at Barceló Harrogate Majestic Hotel
 
 
"My career started in the Banqueting department where I was a waiter. After a year or so I also started helping out within the leisure club. I then moved into a full time position in the leisure club once I had finished college. Since then I have worked my way up through the ranks, I was... promoted to Leisure Club Manager in March 2007.

Whilst working for the company I have gained lots of qualifications, including my Level 2 YMCA Gym Instructor, Level 2 YMCA Circuit Training, ISM Supervisory Level Certificates, Level 2 unit award in working with others, Level 2 improving own learning and performance and CIEH Intermediate Health and Safety."
Sam Ford

"I joined Barceló Basingstoke Country Hotel 4 years ago, and started on the Pathways development programme in Leisure. Whilst working I have completed my NVQ qualifications in Fitness Instructing at Level 2 and 3, First Aid, National Pool Lifeguard Qualification, Pool Plant Qualification, and Nutrition and Diet Management... Barceló Hotels helped me to devise a training plan to further my education and maximise my skills.
Richard Opperman

"Barceló gave me a chance to improve myself, and to find success in my own way. I was promoted recently and it was a bit unexpected but I have always been a hard worker who likes to take responsibility. I do my best to answer “yes” to any request. I am proud of myself I am proud of Barceló."
Lucasz Wechman
Housekeeping Supervisor at Barceló Edinburgh Carlton Hotel
 
 
"I started work at the Barceló Cardiff Angel Hotel, in September 2005 as a Management Trainee. This was a scheme that involved trainees working in each department and learning how to manage them. At the same time I completed a foundation degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management. The degree was integrated seamlessly into my working life and the support that I received from the Hotel was second to none. This was a brilliant scheme to be a part of not only did I get a degree at the end of the two years but I gained so much experience at the same time, that no other full time degree student would have.
 
... Once my training scheme had finished I became the Assistant Conference & Banqueting Manager, ... when the existing manager left I happily took that role on. We were voted Department of the Year 2008, which was satisfying for both myself and the team as all our hard work and effort had been appreciated by the rest of the hotel."
Lorna Powell
Conference & Banqueting Manager at Barceló Cardiff Angel Hotel
