What’s the job?

· Communication skills - guests will need to come to you with concerns as well as compliments, so you’ll be easy to talk to

· Your problem-solving skills will turn issues into opportunities so every guest leaves with great memories

· Fluency in the local language - extra language skills would be great, but not essential

· Literate and tech-savvy - you’ll need a good grasp of reading, writing, basic maths and computers

· Flexibility - night, weekend and holiday shifts are all part of the job

· Experience - ideally, you’ll have spent at least one year in a front desk or guest service position

· Strength - sometimes you’ll need to lift, push and pull big objects up to 50lbs (23 kg). This can involve bending and kneeling 

How do I deliver this?

We genuinely care about people and we show this through living out our promise of True Hospitality each and every day. It’s what connects every colleague in all hotels.

Each hotel delivers True Hospitality in their own way, and at the heart of it all are specific, core service skills.

· True Confidence: having the knowledge and skills to perform your role, and giving guests the confidence that they can trust you, to help and support them during their stay

· True Listening: focusing on what your guest is saying, picking up on body language that is often overlooked, and understanding what the guest wants and needs

· True Responsiveness: is about providing guests with what they need, and doing so in a timely and caring manner
