Night Manager - Live in available

Hotel Night Manager – Woodlands Park Hotel, Cobham, Surrey

Do you know your late check in’s from your early check outs? Like our daytime reception teams, our night teams are often the first member of Hand Picked Hotels our guests meet when they come to visit, which means they get to make one of the biggest impressions. As the hotel’s Night Manager you will lead by example and inspire your team to deliver a fantastic welcome to each and every guest, every time.

Your team will get to know what someone needs before they even know it themselves, leaving them impressed, reassured, and most importantly, feeling at home. It doesn’t matter if they’re first time visitors or returning guests, your team will charm them from the initial welcome to the “Good night” or “Have a safe journey” with the impeccable standards of service you encourage them to deliver.

Ensuring safety and security is a main priority for our night teams, but they are also expert all-rounders helping to fulfil many different roles whilst they are on shift, such as working on the bar, cleaning, setting up conference rooms and delivering room service food orders. If you have experience working night shifts within a hotel and are looking for a new challenge in a stunning location, then we would welcome you to apply.

This is a full time role that involves working between 10.30pm to 7.30am five days per week to include weekends on a rota basis – something you will be responsible for.

What’s in it for you:

• A competitive salary
• Delicious meals on duty provided
• 28 days holiday rising to 33 days with service – we think it’s fair to value loyalty.
