Only candidates with specific hotel reception experience, the ability to work permanently (including regular weekends), and who can easily commute to Clifton, will be considered.
APPLICATION DETAILS
Victoria Square Hotel is a charming 41-bedroom independent hotel located in the heart of Clifton Village. As a small hotel, our reception team plays a central role in the day-to-day running of the business — far beyond a traditional front desk position.
We are looking for an experienced and highly organised Hotel Receptionist to join our friendly team. This is a dynamic, hands-on role that combines guest-facing service with a significant level of administrative responsibility, requiring excellent attention to detail and the ability to confidently multitask.
Important: Only candidates with previous hotel reception experience, the ability to work permanent shifts (including regular weekends), and who can reliably commute to Clifton will be considered.
About the Role
This position goes beyond standard reception duties. In a smaller hotel environment, you will be deeply involved in both front-of-house service and behind-the-scenes administration. You’ll need to be proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities at once.
Key responsibilities include:
- Delivering a warm, professional welcome to all guests
- Managing check-ins and check-outs efficiently
- Handling guest enquiries and providing support throughout their stay
- Processing payments and managing reservations
- Operating our PMS (Rez-Control)
- Coordinating closely with housekeeping and other departments
- Completing a wide range of administrative tasks accurately and efficiently
What We’re Looking For
- Minimum 1 year of hotel reception experience (essential)
- Strong organisational skills and exceptional attention to detail
- Proven ability to multitask and prioritise in a busy environment
- Confident, professional, and well-presented
- A genuine passion for hospitality and guest service
- A proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership
Shifts
- A mix of 8:00am–4:00pm and 3:00pm–11:00pm
- Regular weekend work required
- Additional shifts may be available during busy periods
Benefits
- 28 days holiday (pro rata)
- Discounted hotel stays for you, family, and friends (subject to availability)
- Free on-site parking
