5 unmissable perks of our live-in jobs you need to know!
A live-in job, you say? Right, well, before we go any further, let’s break down the basics:
What is a live-in job?
Simply put, it’s a job that includes live-in accommodation as part of the benefits package.
Here at M&B, we have lots of live-in jobs on offer for people who are keen to relocate, experience a change of scenery, or reduce the time they spend commuting to work.
But that’s not all:
There are lots of other benefits to live-in jobs, too; let’s take a look and get a feel for whether a live-in career could be a good job for you.
5 unmissable perks of live-in jobs
Accommodation
In today’s day and age, where the pressure to find and pay for housing is a big issue for lots of people, the draw of accommodation is a no-brainer.
With a live-in job, for Kitchen Managers and General Managers, it's a benefit in kind, which comes with some tax implications, while hourly team members pay a small weekly cost. Still, it saves you the hassle of house hunting and negotiating rent, making life a whole lot easier!
Greater work-life balance
Living on-site means you’ll have the chance to free up loads of extra time in your daily schedule—no more tedious commutes to work through traffic each day! That’s a huge bonus, in lots of people’s books.
What this ultimately means is that you suddenly have much more time on your hands each day to dedicate to doing the things you love—instead of being stuck on a tube or in traffic—resulting in greater work-life balance.
At M&B, we’re really set on seeing our team thrive in their life overall, and helping you achieve work-life balance through a live-in job opportunity is a big part of that.
Build stronger team connections
This might be less of an obvious one for lots of you, but live-in jobs offer quite a unique environment for you to grow strong connections with your team mates and others living nearby.
Since you’ll be set amongst a community of neighbours who are also in live-in jobs, you’ll immediately have the chance to get to know people who are in a similar walk of life to you.
It’s a brilliant way of making new friends and being deeper in the community—which is such an important element of overall wellbeing.
Develop your career in hospitality
Perhaps you’re in a hospitality job already and feeling ready to progress—or maybe you’re coming at the industry as a first-timer. Either way, we at M&B are big on career progression and are excited to help you develop your career, no matter what level you’re at now.
For many, live-in jobs mean relocation—which can seem like a bit of a daunting task, to some. Reading this story from Kiran—one of our general managers—it’s great to see how she turned it into an exciting challenge that upped her career and lifestyle.
Relocating means exposure to different businesses and different brands. Take Dan, for example, who moved between brands to progress his career.
Other M&B benefits
A live-in job at M&B comes with more than just accommodation; that’s just one aspect of an entire benefits package you’d be entitled to. Fancy knowing what else is in there? Well, it includes:
- ‘Dine with us discount’ which gets you and up to five friends 33% of your food bill anytime you eat with us
- ‘Pick a perk scheme’ which covers benefits like cycling to work and discounts from your favourite retailers
- Hotel stay discounts
- Financial toolkits, including coaching, saving pots, and flexipay options
- Pension plans
- Share incentives
- Access to our Wellbeing Hub
- Paid referrals for anyone you send our way who ends up getting a job. Note: terms and conditions apply.
