This is a varied and fast\-paced role for someone who enjoys being involved in every part of the guest journey — from welcoming guests at reception, to supporting bar and restaurant service, assisting with housekeeping standards, and ensuring the smooth day\-to\-day running of the venue.

The ideal candidate will be a confident team player with strong leadership skills, excellent guest service abilities, and a flexible, can\-do attitude. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a busy hospitality environment and is happy to roll up their sleeves wherever needed.

  • Support the day\-to\-day operation of the hotel, bar, restaurant, and events spaces.

  • Deliver exceptional guest service across all departments, ensuring every guest receives a warm and memorable experience.

  • Assist with reception duties including check\-ins, check\-outs, reservations, guest enquiries, and billing.

  • Support bar and restaurant operations during busy service periods, including hosting, running food and drinks, and maintaining service standards.

  • Assist housekeeping teams in maintaining exceptional cleanliness and presentation standards throughout bedrooms and public areas.

  • Lead by example during shifts, motivating and supporting the wider team.

  • Handle guest feedback, complaints, and special requests professionally and efficiently.

  • Ensure health, safety, hygiene, and licensing standards are consistently maintained.

  • Assist with opening and closing procedures, cash handling, and daily operational checks.

  • Support staff training, rotas, and general team development where required.

  • Help maintain a positive, energetic, and team\-focused working environment.

  • Respond calmly and effectively to any operational issues or emergencies.

  • Set days Wednesdays to Sundays.
Skills \& Experience
  • Previous supervisory or management experience within hospitality is preferred.

  • Experience across multiple departments such as reception, food \& beverage, housekeeping, or events is highly desirable.

  • Strong leadership and organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.

  • Passionate about guest experience and delivering high standards.

  • Comfortable working in a fast\-paced, hands\-on environment.

  • Flexible approach to working evenings, weekends, and busy event periods.

  • Confident communicator with a friendly and professional manner.

  • Multilingual abilities would be an advantage but are not essential.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a unique and creative hospitality venue where no two days are the same. We are looking for someone energetic, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about hospitality — someone who enjoys being part of every aspect of creating exceptional guest experiences.
