Job description

What you'll do...

• Support the running of our day to day Front Office, leading and inspiring our receptionists to create a memorable, effortless Hox experience for our guests - from when they arrive, over the course of their stay and until they get their bill and head off again
• Lead your team by example, keeping them involved and motivated; help them feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions
• Contribute to our success as a business, by making sure the right rates are being used, managing overbooking levels and working with the team to make sure we have a full and happy house
• Making sure everything is running smoothly and looking sharp, working with the team to find solutions to any hick ups

What we're looking for...

• Hotel or leisure related experience in a similar role
• If you're familiar with Opera or similar front desk operating system and understand GDS that would be a big advantage
• Individuals. You're looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here
• Passion for hospitality - whether that's a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night
• You're all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience
• You're not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get shit done
• You're up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once
• If we got stuck in a lift together we'd have a good time and share a few laughs
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way

What's in it for you...

• Competitive salary
• 28 days holidays (inclusive of bank holidays), pension, and life insurance.
• A health cash plan to claim money back and get access to lots of ways to support your physical & mental wellbeing
• It's ok not to be Ok, we have a confidential hotline for any support you require about anything and a network of mental health first aiders
• Treat yourself once in a while with lots of retail & hospitality perks through our partners
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us
• Goes without saying, but we'll feed you during your shift
• Excellent discounts across the Ennismore family for you and your nearest and dearest (even if you decide to leave us!)
• Free night at The Hoxton every year and something a little extra £££ when you hit the big milestones!
• Lots of opportunity to progress and switch it up as part of a global family of brands
• Training to get you settled into your role, learning academies to broaden your skillset and development that helps you think, make and thrive at work
• Extra time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities
• Regular team get togethers, from our team drinks to our (pretty special!) bi-annual parties - we know how to have a good time!
• Enhanced family leave for when you're expanding your family
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
