    What will you be doing as a Reception and Accommodation Manager?

    Our reception and accommodation managers are responsible for the reception operation within the hostel and support with a wide range of customer facing duties. They support the management of an operational budget and delivery of KPI's and have management responsibility for their team.

    Your day-to-day duties may include:

    • leading the team to provide excellent and consistent levels of customer service to all guests and visitors, giving them a great experience of YHA
    • monitor and control expenditure within the reception function
    • managing arrival and departure lists including those of large groups arriving or departing at the same time

      What Skills and Experience do you need to be a Reception and Accommodation Manager?

      We value lived experience just as much as previous skills and knowledge. We offer a robust induction, ongoing training, and further development, however, some of our roles will have further skills requirements.

      Our reception and accommodation manager role requires flexibility to cover different shifts and tasks.

      Qualifications such as NVQ Level 3 within Customer Services, Hospitality, Tourism (desirable). Experience with a variety of guests from individuals and families to larger groups would be an advantage.

      Duties vary so good communication skills, excellent timekeeping and basic IT skills are advantages.
