About You:

• Strong administrative and back-of-house skills are essential.
• Experience in hospitality, hotel, hostel, or serviced accommodation is a MUST.
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and confident managing multiple tasks.
• A natural problem solver with excellent communication and people skills.
