Job Description:

As a Front of House Manager, you’ll be the steady hand that keeps everything running smoothly-welcoming guests, leading from the front, and ensuring our service feels effortless. You’ll manage the day-to-day operation of reception and guest services, set the tone for hospitality, and support your team to deliver consistently high standards across every shift.,

This is for someone who enjoys pace, variety, and responsibility. You’ll bring strong people skills, a service mindset, and the confidence to lead in real time-whether it’s managing arrivals during peak check-in, handling an unexpected guest request, or supporting team members when the day gets busy. You don’t just “manage the desk”-you help create an atmosphere where guests feel truly looked after and colleagues feel proud of the team they work with.

  • Proven ability to lead a team and maintain high standards under pressure.
  • Strong communication skills, with a confident but warm approach to guests.
  • Good judgement and calm problem-solving-especially during busy periods or escalations.
