Job Description:

De Vere Tortworth Court is a hotel that definitely has the WOW factor: a magnificent Grade II listed mansion house in South Gloucestershire, complete with sweeping drive entrance, Victorian arboretum, and 30 acres of grounds making it a truly unique place to work. There are 201 bedrooms and suites, 14 meeting and event spaces including the Orangery, 2 Food & Beverage outlets, a seasonal outdoor Tipi, and a Leisure Club & Spa offering treatments.

Your commute: we're just a short way from J14 of the M5 and commutable by car from both Bristol and Gloucester.

At De Vere: we warmly welcome everyone and foster a sense of belonging, where each person is valued and appreciated. Join our team and become part of a passionate group of individuals who genuinely care about the experiences we create for our guests and colleagues.

Are you passionate about creating memorable guest experiences?

Join our team as a Receptionist at De Vere Tortworth Court and play a crucial role in ensuring our guests' expectations are not only met but exceeded. In return, you will receive £12.40 per hour plus excellent benefits including free meals on duty, £50 staff stays with De Vere Hotels, and free use of our leisure facilities, to name just a few!

As a Receptionist, you'll be the friendly face that greets our guests, making them feel welcome from the moment they arrive. Your mission will be to provide exceptional customer service, handle guest requests efficiently, and go above and beyond to ensure their stay is memorable.

This is a full-time position that requires flexibility in working hours, including early shifts (7am-3:30pm), late shifts (2:00pm-10:30pm), and middle shifts (10am-6:30pm), which will include weekends on a rota basis.

What we look for in a Receptionist:

• Previous experience in the hospitality industry or a similar role, demonstrating your ability to provide exceptional guest service.
• Effective communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with colleagues and guests.
• Punctuality and good personal presentation.
• Proficiency in using IT software and familiarity with Opera would be advantageous (although not essential, as training will be provided if needed).

Above all, if you share our values of being warm, genuine, anticipating guest needs, and paying attention to every detail, we invite you to join our team at De Vere and become part of our dedicated team, delivering exceptional guest experiences every day.
