Successful applicant will be a fantastic communicator with a professional and positive outlook, who leads her team with kindness, and by example. Someone who is meticulous with organisation and will mentor and train a new team whilst motivating them from the outset. This is not a 'behind the desk' position. It is an active role so needs someone who can work with a good pace and energy level. Handover will be completed with the very experienced build chief stewardess who has started off this process with total professionalism. Great systems have started to be put into place, and the yacht has been exceptionally well outfitted. A Second stewardess will be in onboard imminently and the rest of the team will follow shortly afterwards.
