Optomen, a leading independent television production company are launching a new Channel 4 Series, with the intention of running an ‘Expert led Hotel’ to give unemployed people the opportunity to gain experience working with high-profile experts in a new hotel.

One of the UK’s most well-known chefs will run the kitchen; a top, respected, customer service expert will run front of house and the rooms.  From the front desk to the hotel spa; food-sourcing to the bar – there will be roles in all aspects of the hotel.

Always interested in a good employment story, The Employable spoke to Optomen to find out more…

“We are looking to involve unemployed people of all ages and backgrounds in the programme. The selected unemployed people will have the chance to get work experience in a hotel.  They will have the opportunity to be mentored and trained in the hospitality industry by high-profile experts. The aim of the programme is to give a selection of people the skills to find permanent positions or get onto training schemes once the series has finished. Throughout the series the hotel will also raise money for charities and schemes across the nation that specifically help people get training and employment.”

If you’re unemployed and would like to take part in the programme please e-mail: hotel@optomen.com or phone 0203 227 5939.

We will keep an eye on this show and report back closer to launch, and wish Optomen all the best for the show.
