We are seeking an upbeat, driven individual with excellent communication skills.
What is the job?
The moment a guest steps into one of our hotels, they walk into a genuinely memorable experience. As a Night Receptionist, you’ll not only be the person they rely on to handle transactions, offer local insights and anticipate every detail of a friction-free experience. You’ll also create the warm atmosphere that makes our guests feel at home in any location and act as the brand ambassador, H&S champion and crisis contact person during all assigned shifts. Nights operation is the crucial part of the hotel operations and we are looking for a strong, confident and committed individual who is not afraid to make decisions. If it sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you
Your Day To Day:
* Be the warm welcome that kicks off a memorable guest experience

* Handle cash and credit transactions
* Upsell F&B items from the Pantry.

wear any protective gear needed

* Perform Duty Manager shifts/tasks including security walks.

* Communication skills - guests will need to come to you with concerns as well as
compliments, so you’ll be easy to talk to
* Your problem-solving skills will turn issues into opportunities so every guest leaves
with great memories

* Literate and tech-savvy - you’ll need a good grasp of reading, writing, basic maths and computers
* Flexibility - night, weekend and holiday shifts are all part of the job
* Experience - ideally you’ll have spent at least one year in a front desk or guest service position
