Event Host/Hostess - London

Event Host/Hostess - Ennismore London

We are looking for an Event Host/Hostess to help run our meeting and events space at the stunning Ennismore Sessions House, where we host everything from private parties to fashion shoots.

Whatever the occasion, we’ll look to you to ensure every guest is wowed and feels at home. 

What you’ll do…

• Work closely with our meetings & events team on enquiries and showing off the space
• Ensure an amazing experience for all our visitors, from initial enquiry, over set up, to helping out with any requests and handling billing
• Look after our events space, making sure it’s spic & span and ready to be enjoyed
• Take responsibility for keeping an eye on our stock of guest supplies, stationary, equipment and larder
• Chip in wherever needed, including stepping behind our bar to serve coffees and drinks
• Along with weekdays, you may need to work nights and weekends; occasionally this can mean a late end to your day

What we’re looking for…

• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience
• Previous experience with Opera or a similar front desk system would be an advantage
• You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here
• You’re passionate about hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night
• 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…

• 25 days holiday (as well as bank holidays), plus pension, competitive salary and nifty rewards for going the extra mile and living our values
• We celebrate special milestones in your work and personal life; from Enniversaries (our version of your work anniversary) to getting hitched, becoming a new parent and the like
• Regular team get togethers, from our weekly drinks to our (pretty special!) bi-annual parties – we have a good time
• Excellent discounts across the global Ennismore family for you and your nearest & dearest (even if you decide to leave us!)
• Training to get you settled into your role, including barista and bar work; learning academies to broaden your skillset and development that helps you think, make and thrive at work
• Plenty of opportunity to progress and change it up across the diverse group of brands we’re part of
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities
