Meet some of our team members who have recently moved from one position to another within the organisation to pursue what they enjoy.
Charlotte Burbridge
Senior Front of House Host
I began work at High Leigh 12 years ago. I started in the dining room as a waitress and did that for 8 months. Then, the Head of Housekeeping offered me a full-time job in her department. I stayed there for 11 years and really enjoyed the role. When covid hit, I was furloughed for 7 months. During this time, I did lots of online computer courses, including an Excel course and completed a GCSE in ICT.
When the centre re-opened, I thought it would be a great opportunity with these courses under my belt to try something new. I applied for a Front of House position and got it. After doing this for a year and a half, I was delighted to be promoted to the Senior Front of House Host. I am looking forwards to the new challenges that this role brings and my future with Christian Conference Trust.
Paige Roach
Food & Beverage Team Leader
I moved from South Africa to the UK in January 2022 and began working at High Leigh a few months later. I started out on the Conference and Events team. This year, I was excited to receive a promotion - Food and Beverage Team Leader. Christian Conference Trust is like one big family; working alongside my friendly co-workers makes me smile. The Kitchen is a whole different energy. I can’t wait to learn and grow more in the company over the next few years.
Katie Brown
Housekeeping Supervisor
I oversee the housekeeping department alongside Jackie - the Senior Housekeeping Supervisor. We ensure the rooms are kept in tip-top shape, ready for our guests to have an unforgettable experience.
I began working at High Leigh in June last year as a Housekeeper but felt I could do more. I ended up taking on the role of a full-time Linen Porter, which entailed housekeeping duties too. After being here for a few months, learning the layout of the building, working with some amazing people, and experiencing two different roles, I felt confident enough to apply for the supervisor position. I’m very happy to be here and grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to take on this new role. I look forwards to my future with Christian Conference Trust.
Nathaniel Smith
Marketing Coordinator
I began work at Christian Conference Trust over 18 months ago as one of the bar staff. I then moved on to work as a Kitchen Porter and shortly after was excited to accept the position of Conference Porter. I worked as a porter for over a year. Prior to my employment with CCT, I had had some experience with graphic design. I decided I wanted to pursue a job that would allow me to use my design experience. When the Marketing Coordinator position opened up, it was the perfect opportunity for me, so I interviewed for it. I was very happy to accept the job and continue to love the work that I do.
