What kind of people work at Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa?
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and we employ a wide range of people, cultures and nationalities at the Resort.
I haven't worked in hospitality before. Should I apply?
For core hospitality positions such as food & beverage, kitchen and front office you must have relevant hotel or resort experience. For other positions, you need to have strong technical skills, experience in your area and be ready to demonstrate how this will contribute to the Resort’s operations.
Where are interviews held?
The Resort conducts the majority of interviews over the telephone for applicants outside of Broome.
Do you recruit your staff at certain times of the year?
We generally conduct large recruitment drives at the beginning of each year in Perth, WA; with regular recruitment of available positions via telephone throughout the year. Our high season is from April to October. If you are uncertain about what positions we currently have available, please refer to our Career Opportunities section of this website.
How does the Resort advertise available positions -and do closing dates apply?
We use several different methods including the website www.seek.com.au, recruitment agencies and newspaper advertising. Generally we do not apply closing dates to positions, so if you’re interested in applying for a position, it is important that you do so whilst we are still advertising for it. Feel free to give us a call to discuss this if you’re unsure.
Do you offer short term contracts?
The majority of employees at the Resort are offered permanent positions and we are looking for people who wish to commit to us for a minimum of one year. We also have busy periods throughout the year - and at this time we will often offer short term contracts.
Can I specify a particular position that I want to apply for?
Yes. We encourage applicants to apply for positions which they have the necessary skills and experience to fulfill. If you are successful for an interview, we may also discuss other vacancies which we currently have.
Can I apply with a friend or partner?
Yes. We have many people at the Resort who have come with a partner or a friend. Your friend or partner needs to follow the normal recruitment process and also indicate on their application the name of the person with whom they are applying.
Does the Resort employ international applicants?
We welcome applications from hospitality experienced individuals who have already gained Australian working rights. Overseas applicants can refer to www.immi.gov.au for information on gaining these rights.
Does the Resort employ interns?
The Resort works with a number of Australian hotel schools and education providers to provide industry placements and employment to complement studies. Current students seeking placements are encouraged to apply via their Careers Coordinator, nominating Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa as their preference.
How do I know that you received my application?
All applicants who apply online will receive an automated response advising that your application has been received. If you do not receive this automated email then you should phone the Human Resources Department to confirm that we have received your application. We appreciate your patience as we receive a lot of applications which take time to review and respond to.
What happens if I am not offered a job?
You will receive correspondence from the Resort advising that you have been unsuccessful for a position. All available positions are regularly advertised on our website and applicants are welcome to reapply. We also keep some resumes on file, should a suitable position come available in the future.
If I am successful, when would I need to start?
Positions will sometimes have a set start date- but generally we require people to start work within 2-5 weeks from your acceptance of the position. This will be confirmed with you during the recruitment process.
If I am successful, when will I receive my first pay?
Resort employees are paid fortnightly. If you are successful in gaining a position with us you should ensure that you have enough money to last for 2-3 weeks.
What are the wages for these positions?
Wages are discussed during the recruitment process.
Will the Resort provide me with a uniform?
The Resort provides uniforms to all employees and the laundering of these uniforms is the responsibility of the employee. All employees will be required to purchase a certain style of footwear which will be discussed with you during the recruitment process.
If I am successful, will the Resort pay for relocation?
Unless discussed as part of the recruitment process, all employees are responsible for their own flight and relocation costs.
Does the Resort provide accommodation to all staff?
Staff accommodation is provided to the majority of employees. The availability of staff accommodation will be discussed with you during the recruitment process.
Do you accommodate families?
As Broome is a town of some 15,000 people, there are many options available to people choosing to relocate to Broome. The Resort itself has very minimal accommodation suitable for families and as a result of allocations being based on position; we recommend that people looking to relocate with their families arrange their own accommodation through one of the many Real Estate agencies in the town.
Can I choose who I share a room with?
If your position requires you to share a room, we do our best to match you with someone of a similar age and shift pattern - and always someone of the same gender. If you are travelling with a friend, we do our best to ensure that you are roomed together. Please note that this may not always be possible due to shortages in staff accommodation; and if so, we will discuss this with you.
Can I bring pets?
Unfortunately as the majority of our accommodation is shared, pets of any kind are not allowed.
How do I obtain more information about living and working at Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa?
Please refer to our Guide to Living and Working in Broome brochure which is available to download from this website. If you are successful for an interview, then a Resort representative will provide you with more information - and you’ll have a chance to ask questions then.
