Lead the Welcome. Set the Standard. Create the Experience.

As Front Office Supervisor on Hayman Island, you won’t just be supervising a team - you’ll be setting the tone for the entire guest experience. From the excitement of a guest’s arrival to their final farewell, you’ll be right at the centre of the action, leading a team that creates effortless, personalised and genuinely memorable stays in one of Australia’s most spectacular destinations.

Every day brings something different. You’ll support management in taking charge of the Front Office Team, keep arrivals and departures running seamlessly, anticipate guest needs and be the calm, confident leader your team can rely on when the resort is at its busiest. Whether it’s welcoming a first-time visitor, turning a special occasion into something unforgettable or finding the perfect solution to an unexpected challenge, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real difference every day.

But this role is about more than keeping the operation running. You’ll lead from the front by coaching, motivating and supporting your team while creating a culture where people feel supported, confident and proud of the service they deliver.

If you’re ready to take your hospitality career to an island where no two days are the same, lead a passionate team and help create experiences guests will remember long after they leave, Hayman Island is calling.
