It doesn't take lavishness or luxury to make someone feel special. Instead, we believe it takes genuine care, thoughtfulness and a team empowered to be creative with their service. These are the qualities that keep our guests coming back time and again.

First impressions count, don't they? And no pressure – but as our Front Office Manager, you'll lead the team responsible not just for creating those outstanding first impressions… but also for delivering the last ones. Every single time a guest enters and leaves the hotel.

Your mission? To inspire, lead, and coach your team so that they're excited about their journey to excellence every day. You'll anticipate guest needs before they even know they have them, ensuring every interaction feels effortless, personal, and memorable.

This isn't just a job – it's a chance to shape the heart of our hotel, elevate our team, and create moments guests will remember forever.

• Lead, coach, and motivate a dedicated Front Office team, nurturing talent and creating a culture of excellence.

• Ensure smooth day-to-day operations across Reception, Night and Guest Services, including check-in/out, room allocation, and guest requests.
• Monitor performance metrics (guest satisfaction, occupancy, revenue) and implement strategies for continuous improvement.
• Collaborate across departments to ensure seamless service and unforgettable moments for our guests.
• Manage rotas, payroll, training, and performance development for your team.
• Uphold the hotel's standards in service, compliance, and health & safety.

What we're looking for…

• A hunger for hospitality and going the extra mile.
• Someone that is willing to bring their best, authentic self to work. Rather than reading from a script or putting on a persona, our approach is all about bringing the very best version of ourselves to work every day.
• A creative approach to your role – we believe that a game changing idea can come from anyone, anytime.
• Someone who thrives in a dynamic and vibrant environment and is committed to delivering exceptional hospitality.
