  • Managing hotel, restaurant and spa break bookings via phone, email, and in person with a keen attention to detail throughout
  • Coordinating room reservations with housekeeping and other departments daily, ensuring smooth communication - especially with last minute changes
  • Assisting our Events, Conference and Weddings teams with booking enquiries and administration
  • Supporting Reception Manager and Supervisor by implementing procedures, applying attention to detail throughout booking processes, and maintaining your knowledge of the business to better assist guests and colleagues
  • Any other duties commensurate with the role

What We're Looking For:

  • Previous experience in a hotel or front desk role
  • A natural people-person who can stay calm under pressure and provide service with a smile
  • Organised, adaptable, and comfortable using a variety of booking systems
  • Confident communicator, both in-person and over the phone
  • A can-do attitude and flexible approach to working shifts

  • Morning Shifts: 7am–3pm / 8am–4pm
  • Middle Shifts: 10am–6pm
  • Late Shifts: 2pm–10pm / 3pm–11pm
