Secret Bay, the boutique resort in Portsmouth, has announced a career opportunity for Dominicans seeking work in the hospitality sector. The resort is inviting applications for a range of positions as it prepares for the coming season, according to an announcement published this week.
The recruitment drive comes as Dominica's tourism sector continues to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Secret Bay, which has earned international recognition for its eco-luxury villas and service, is a significant employer in the island's north and a key contributor to the visitor economy.
Details of the available roles and the application process were not specified in the announcement, which directed interested persons to the resort for further information. The announcement did not state the number of positions available or the deadline for applications.
Tourism is a pillar of the Commonwealth of Dominica's economy, alongside agriculture and the citizenship-by-investment programme. The sector supports jobs in accommodation, food and beverage, transport, and tours, and is particularly important in the Portsmouth area, where Secret Bay is located.
The resort has been recognised in international travel awards and is known for its sustainable design and emphasis on the natural environment, aligning with Dominica's branding as the Nature Isle. Its continued operation and recruitment activity signal confidence in the island's tourism product.
For residents of Portsmouth and surrounding communities, the opening represents a chance to join a hospitality team that serves an international clientele. The resort has previously trained and employed local staff in various departments, including guest services, housekeeping, and culinary operations.
Dominica's cruise season and stay-over arrivals have shown signs of growth, and properties across the island have been strengthening their teams in response. The government has encouraged investment in tourism infrastructure, including the ongoing expansion of the Douglas-Charles Airport, which is expected to improve access to the island.
Persons interested in the opportunities at Secret Bay are advised to contact the resort directly for full details on available roles and how to apply. The announcement did not provide a closing date, so early enquiry is recommended.
Dominica 1 will provide further updates on employment opportunities in the tourism sector as they become available.
