We're recruiting for a Guest Service Manager to join the team!

Are you a current Reception or Restaurant Supervisor ready for your next step? Or maybe you’re already a Front Office or FB Manager, ready to expand your knowledge across all areas of hotel operations.

This role? It’s ALL about the guest and delivering an outstanding service for them. And ensuring your team do the same.

Through hands-on leadership, you will ensure your team achieves all brand and company metrics and objectives. You will coach, support and engage your team and support the creation of a positive work culture that is focused on excellence, as well as seeking strategies to continuously improve the guest experience.

What you’ll be doing:

• You will specialise in Food Beverage, but you’ll have a deep understanding of all areas of the Guest Service department in order to support your team in delivering whatever the guest needs across all guest facing areas of the operation.
• Working alongside the other Guest Service Managers to lead and support a single multiskilled Guest Service Team in delivering excellent service across all guest facing areas of the operation.
• Collaborating with other functional leaders within the business to ensure smooth operation across departments.
• Reviewing and responding to guest reviews, using feedback to develop and improve guest service within the hotel.
• Ensuring that all Health and Safety standards are met and properly recorded to keep our guests and teams safe.
• Train, develop, motivate and nurture our Guest Service colleagues to give them the skills they need to excel.
• Supporting and driving the performance of your team, conducting frequent job-chats that seek to enhance performance and where required, manage underperformance.
• Lead by example, spending time with your team to coach in the moment and demonstrate a positive attitude, attentive service, anticipation of guest needs and how to embody our company values and brand service standards.
• You will empower and encourage your team to take ownership of complaints and support them to find a resolution, acting as the safety net or first point of escalation for any problems a Guest Service Assistant is unable to resolve themselves.
• Building a sales culture across the Guest Service Team whilst executing sales initiatives to maximise room and ME sales.

What’ll make you a great fit?

• You’ll have experience as an Operational Department Manager (Reception, Food Beverage or Events) within a fast-paced hotel/hospitality environment
• You love to pursue outstanding. You are constantly looking for that one extra thing that will make someone’s day. You act with integrity at all times and are excited to develop your team and lead from the front.
• You focus on the details! Whether it’s making sure the numbers add up, the tables are set just so or the team pick up on key pieces of information to create a wow moment for our guests, you pick up on the little things that make a big difference.
• You’ll love people – and as a result, have great interpersonal, communication and leadership skills. You take a holistic approach to leadership and performance, focused on the whole person and following our processes to make sure everyone is treated fairly.
• You are a pragmatic leader. You are a cool problem solver, calm under pressure and focused on finding sensible solutions.
• You are flexible and able to remain focused on results when working to deadlines
• You’ll enjoy using tech – we have lots of it to make your life easier and our guests experience more seamless
• Self-motivated and confident
• Hard-working but FUN!
