Seasonal Duty Manager - YHA Canterbury

YHA Canterbury Welcomes You to a Unique Place of Work

YHA Canterbury are looking to recruit a Duty Manager for 25+ hours per week.

Based a short walk from Canterbury city centre, we are looking for a Duty Manager with a great work ethic and cheery demeanor to join our friendly team.  Our bustling Youth Hostel provides accommodation to educational and sporting groups from around the world, we are also popular with families and individual backpacker travellers as a gateway hostel to the rest of our fabulous England & Wales network.  The role will include working in all key areas of the operation - reception, housekeeping and catering - training will be provided but previous experience in hospitality would be advantageous.  Shifts within our working week can start from 7am and can finish at 11pm, therefore a reliance upon public transport is not ideal. 

Our hostel offers an entirely distinctive workplace, far from the ordinary office setting. At YHA Canterbury, we believe in valuing our team and ensuring they have access to great perks:

  • Competitive hourly rate: We offer a pay of £12.44 per hour (this role is temporary, flexible at 25+ hours per week)
  • Exclusive benefits: Enjoy access to YHA's staff discount and cashback portal, allowing you to save on your everyday purchases.
  • Free YHA Membership: Receive a complimentary YHA Membership each year.
  • Travel and adventure: Discover new places with 10 free hostel stays per year for you and up to 3 friends or family members.

Join Our Team as Duty Manager - Shaping Exceptional Hostel Experiences

At YHA, we celebrate diversity and value the unique perspectives that every individual brings. Our mission is to create an inclusive environment where all staff members are appreciated for their distinctive contributions and insights.

The Role: Supporting Excellence in Hostel Operations

As a Duty Manager, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the management of an operational budget and the delivery of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). You will also be engaged in various customer-facing duties across the hostel, ensuring all guests and visitors have an outstanding YHA experience.

Your Responsibilities

  • Guiding and supporting team members working in all areas of the hostel, fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment.
  • Utilising our systems for efficient guest check-ins, check-outs and other management functions.
  • Carrying out cleaning and housekeeping duties, maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for our guests.
  • Assisting in the kitchen and serving food and drinks with warmth and hospitality, enhancing the dining experience, while engaging in authentic, inclusive conversations. Suggesting enjoying dinner with us or offering a beverage or dessert as you assist with table service, ensuring a diverse and welcoming experience for all guests.
  • Deputising for the Hostel/Deputy Manager, managing the daily hostel operation in their absence.

What Skills and Experience We Value

Our Duty Manager role requires flexibility to cover different shifts and tasks. While prior experience in a face-to-face customer service role is an advantage, it's not essential. However, experience in hospitality or customer service, especially in managing and delivering high-quality service, is highly beneficial.

Desirable qualifications include Food Safety Level 2 and APLH Level 2, but they are not mandatory. Essential requirements include experience in managing varying pressures, including significant workload demands, and team management.

We highly value lived experiences just as much as previous skills and knowledge. We offer a comprehensive induction, ongoing training, and further development. While some of our roles may have specific skills requirements, we encourage team members from diverse backgrounds to apply.

Good communication skills and basic IT proficiency are advantageous, and excellent time management is essential in our dynamic environment.

Feel free to attach a cover letter to further express your unique qualifications and experiences. If you require any assistance, our YHA Jobs website's contact page is available to support you.
